Forum trolls

[Dayvo]

With just under a thousand members (plus still a lot of lurkers) there does seem to be a distinct lack of trolls here.
Now some, not the former C+ gang, won't be too familiar with the spoutings of a certain bonj!
To be fair to him, he's not a troll; more like the forum equivalent of the village idiot, in the mould of John Mills in Ryan's Daughter.
And I'm sure he's a very competent cyclist; once he ditches the stabilisers he'll be up for his Cycling Proficiency Award!
When they drop, he'll probably turn into a decent human adult!

If I ever meet him, I'll be happy to buy him a drink of his choice!

This is not a fertile environment for trolls as there is a shortage of the more excitable types who respond to trolls. Trolls are commonest where they provoke a reaction. If all they get is to be ignored, or "Sod off troll," then they don't bother.

tbh I don't really recall any trolls on C+ either. Mainly because I only occasionally pasted in Soapbox. If anything there it was the "regulars" who had the best (!) slogging matches.

I do recall some imbecile in begineers - but he (almost certainly a he) came across as stupid, rather than argumentative...... name escapes me.....
(but hasn't shown up here!!)

No visible trolls, for much the reasons that Patrick stated. Also, as a small private forum it's much harder for a troll to get away with it. Mind you, I'm damn sure we're being watched by the usual suspects....

.... but still a lot of gratuitous posts from a few people that, in my view, undermine the value of the forum (mind you there's a few on acf that have to comment on EVERY thread, however inane or pathetic their response may be)

BTW Chuffy - thought of you yesterday - I rode to the Gliding Club and recalled your trike riding escapade a couple of years ago

I would never tire of calling stonecastle a twat.

Indeed, but he was entertaining!

Indeed, but he was entertaining!

Perhaps we should set up a thread 'What Stonecastle would say'...In fact I'm going to do that now!

 

[Keith Oates]

I never really got involved with any Stonecastle posts, but what few I read were not in my entertaining bracket!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good old stonecastle...I remember him...didn't he get banned in the end for going on about what a brilliant idea gaybashing was?

Wait till the Scottoiler people discover us.

Can anyone list a few of the old C+ trolls? I find it difficult to distinguish between trolls and some of those who post in Soapbox and commuting.

Can't you use your spidey sense instead? Lazy Bugger!

And who can forget the soap opera-esque life of HWK.....where is he these days?

Bike Radar I think. He went on a Bosman.
