Hello
We wanted to clear a few things up:
1) We don't allow troll hunting on the forums. If you are worried someone may not be genuine, please email us directly or report any concerning posts to us. We will deal with it. Making accusations on the forums is not helpful and could, if incorrect, lead to possibly vulnerable people feeling victimised. We will have to delete threads that accuse other users of being trolls.
2) PMs. We take a very dim view of this being abused. If you receive an unwanted or unkind PM please report it to us. We can take a look and deal with it. You are also able to block other users so that they are no longer able to PM you. Please use this. And apologies in advance if this does happen to you. It's not nice and not what Gransnet is about at all.
3) Despite what it feels like tonight 
we do not enjoy deleting threads. We have a handful of guidelines, all there with the purpose of making the threads better, and more welcoming for users. We are doing our best and rely on you to report things to us that seem concerning, so thank you for caring so much about the site and reporting anything that looks suspicious.
Thank you
GNHQ
What happened to the Emu who attacked Michael Parkinson?
Emu and his "handler", Rod Hull, lived very near me and he did indeed come to grief whilst adjusting his satellite dish one Saturday afternoon, as * Grandmafrench* says. Emu has never been the same since. 
Neither, Callistemon

Loving some of the posts above, sublimely humourous!
One has to worry about the success of a ventriloquist on the radio Callistemon must be the British sense of humour.
