Is there a difference between trolling and online abuse?
It seems to me that it is not just anonymous posters that do it. But the problem with anonymous posters is claiming they are someone else and triggering others including forum members to pile in. It almost looks like some of these anonymous posters were forum members.
Doesn't it just.

Aren't most peoples lives a tad monotonous though. Lets face it few of us lead jet set lifestyles.
It's got to be a bit more than that.
maybe it's a means to cope with anger or resentment, maybe it's simply a laugh for people who know it's a safe way of being arseholes.
Places that have guest posting will attract all sorts so it's a bit of a wonder why there's moaning about it. If you don't want trolls make it member posting only.
Posts get through if a member has fallen out of favour. Dogs is more protective of members than here , why posters have to come here to have their say
yeah like the pile ons when someone steps out of line or falls out of favour with admin? Ask Ragga and Victoria about that one.

You are a very prolific poster over quite a few forums, so I guess you are right on the the jet set lifestyle part.
Places that have guest posting will attract all sorts so it's a bit of a wonder why there's moaning about it. If you don't want trolls make it member posting only.
What do you want me to do. get all defensive and pretend some alternate lifestyle. Quite happy to say my life is the usual humdrum one that most people have.
And who's moaning. Just wondering what motivates trolls. Perhaps you could tell us.
I was agreeing with you not slagging you off FGS huffy or what?

It's not the quantity of time one spends on a forum, it's the quality of ones contributions when one is online.
