Troll hunting

I have been told off for troll hunting to which I hold my hands up- though I wasn't hunting, I'd found one!!

Shouldn't GNHQ be troll hunting for us. Those of us that have been here a while will be instinctively aware of malicious posters generally and can report (as I was told to) but how long does it take hq to look into something and what harm can be done to unsuspecting members in the interim?

Let me try and keep it really simple, so that some may understand, and I have typed really slowly so that one or two of you may keep up with what I am saying.
To reassure those with a persecution complexion I have not got any records of you, how boring that would be.
I started with one of the more outlandish threads and worked on from there.
It is surprising what that throws up though obviously you need some comprehension to spot discrepancies.

But why on earth would you want to?
Do you really care that much?
I'm genuinely perplexed.

Gosh with every post you become less pleasant Holdingon
Does it take much work or does it all come naturally ?

Chewbacca Sun 23-Dec-18 20:18:25

I'm losing the will to live now; it's just waaaaay past be interesting.

grin holding - I've heard/read something like your last post so many times. eg
"Let me try and keep it really simple, so that some may understand"
A last ditch attempt to recover the upper hand. It doesn't work any longer.

I've just found this thread. Why is it I keep missing things? OK here's a summary of the story so far (If I miss anyhing do let me know.
There may or may not be Trolls around. If you see one you musn't act but tell HQ. There is an inner and an outer circle who are doing some sort of dance, but how you get into it is unclear. Someone has been biting children without introducing themselves. HQ have deleted some things to get rid of Trolls, but that doesn't mean there aren't any left. But you musn't mention them or people get upset. Someone thinks we are interesting enough to want to gather info about us!!
Anything else?

Chewbacca Sun 23-Dec-18 20:46:22

Nope trisher, that's a fairly accurate synopsis of the story so far. Riveting, isn't it?

Lisagran Sun 23-Dec-18 20:52:00

Does holding run a factory somewhere with his wife and a long-suffering workforce? There can’t be two posters as rude and pompous as this surely?

SueDonim Sun 23-Dec-18 21:19:15

Did you mean to be so rude, Holdingontomyteeth?

Lisagran
grin perhaps we should start a dossier

Perhaps all concerned could call a truce for the next couple of weeks and stop pouring salt onto the wounds given and received on this thread. There have been some hard words both from and to holding. Passions have run high on infiltrators and vigilantes, understandable on both sides, but this IS the season of goodwill and all that.

Hasn't anyone any sprouts to trim? Gammon to curse? If you are at a loose end, come and fix the two halves of my tree together. It needs hands without arthritis and no-one with those is likely to drop by before tomorrow afternoon - too late!

trisher Mon 24-Dec-18 10:29:16

Jalima1108 But will it be a "dodgy" dossier? grin

janeainsworth Mon 24-Dec-18 10:46:45

trisher you’re not meant to mention or even suggest the name of Tony Blair on here grin

GrannyGravy13 Mon 24-Dec-18 10:47:20

I have well and truly cursed my gammon, it's on the side cooling.

I am getting increasingly confused by this thread.

Joyous and peaceful Christmas to you all ????

Marydoll Mon 24-Dec-18 11:02:06

Yes, let's call a halt to all this. Please!

sodapop Mon 24-Dec-18 11:52:42

You and me both Grannygravy time to move on and enjoy Christmas.
Hope its a good day for everyone.

trisher Mon 24-Dec-18 12:38:05

Troll hunting and Tony Blair in the same thread. That must be some sort of record. Well inner or outer circle, dancing or not, troll or hunter, Merry Christmas! tchgrin

merlotgran Mon 24-Dec-18 15:12:01

In my family, 'inner or outer' refers to whether or not you want the Angostura bitters left in the glass or tipped out before adding the gin.

Cheers! grin

Anja Mon 24-Dec-18 15:58:32

Peace and good will holding

Love the bit about typing slowly ?

annsixty Mon 24-Dec-18 16:06:24

I hate Angostura bitters? does that make me controversial?
Will I be trolled?

Izabella Mon 24-Dec-18 16:26:12

I didn't know they should be tipped out

Angostura bitters that is (in this specific case), not trolls.

Elegran Mon 24-Dec-18 16:38:31

Oh, trolls should be tipped out, too, and then the glass filled with gin!

Anja Mon 24-Dec-18 16:40:19

?

merlotgran Mon 24-Dec-18 16:50:40

Gin and t'rolls. Yorkshire tipple with a snack? tchgrin

At £10 a bottle I leave it in as well, Izabella Mind you, it lasts forever.

GabriellaG54 Fri 04-Jan-19 00:03:39

Oh well, that's me told then ?
Thread on the 't' word removed. I had no idea that you couldn't start up a new thread on the same/similar subject and people had replied ...
I responded to GN and might get the heave-ho as it was quite a long message. I like to give my reasons for writing a comnent when they tell me it's removed. grin
See ya...
