this 110%. That's why I can't wait for BB. Then, people will talk about that, and not each other!

Ther are 2 versions of trolls for me. One creates an account just to provoke people into an argument. The other likes to create an imaginary persona for themselves and become accepted as a "real person" on an internet forum.

I can't wait for Big Brother. You can always be sure that it conjures up some interesting debates. It's the beauty of the show really

I had enough and said you might be the same person as MMAI.

I'm so sick of the pleasure you get out of targeting someone and arguing!

Urgh. I give up.

I just wish the arguing was about something constructive.. not all of this nonsense about cliques and friendship groups.

Certain members have certain friends on the forum.. that's just the way it is and that is fine. consider a fair few members to be friends. As I have said before, I just think that a certain few selection of members take the forum way too seriously and when an argument does crop up they find it hard to let it go as this forum is like real life to them. I just find that if you ignore it and just not bother with it, then the members who aren't as obsessed with their online friendships will stand out to you and you can chat to them instead. A few members may seem like they are quite popular.. but a lot of that is because they have been on the forum a lot longer and everyone has gotten to know who they are.. 99% of them are lovely members. There will always be a big group of members who seem to be more popular as-well because they are members who regularly post so people get used to who they are and find out more about them as they see their posts more. Most popularity isn't exaggerated by members themselves.. it is just something that comes to them over time. It's just a shame that certain members seem to take this popularity personally and as you said in the OP.. it is a bit silly.

Well said squire.

and Im not backing down from that Samy.
i still believe there was something funny going on with that whole lot of your familys accounts!!!
You were getting to the stage of bulling, yes. by making her want to leave the forum.
you were agreeing with everything others said which was rude about Jess, so i defended her - but then you accused me of bullying you! which was just a complete turn-around!
i dont 'target' here at all. i can see what youre doing though, and others are falling into believing what your game is.
i have something to pick at you for, it is NOT targeting.
