Anti bullying charity with troll hunting facility

[leclerc]

Saw a news part on BBC1 about this charity which will hunt bullying trolls and with 1 in 3 children subjected to cyber bullying, it is a welcome thing.

couldn't agree more, Trolls are the bain of Internet discussions. I have joined in on a few on Yahoo etc, and the trolls are rife. Some are no more than kiddies just being stupid, but others are really nasty. Two come to mind recently, one being GB being nannied to much and the worse was one who told everyone thst if they were smokers, overwieght or disabled they should be euthenised, anyone who wasn't stable or in a very depressed state would have been made to feel worse (cyberbullying) and some odious little troll who thaught it was great fun to slander the Jewish faith bordering on what the Nazis did in WW2

As you have found, Messi, it isn't just kids who are vulnerable to cyberbullying. Adults are, too. I have had this on CAG. Luckily, the site team had noticed what was going on and, give them credit where it is due, they intervened and got the trolls off the site pretty quickly. I find that my love of playing around with words tends to wrongfoot the trolls, make them look stupid and give the other CAG members a laugh.

Two of the phrases I use are -

"You seem to have an amazing talent for Lower Gastro-Intestinal Ventriloquism"
"You seem to be suffering from a very bad case of Cranio-Rectal Obstruction"

one of the greatest put downs I have ever heard to a troll came from my ex Kez, he said

Shouldn't you be under a bridge somewhere scaring goats? msl:

I think its a GREAT idea to have the ability to trace these idiots, on facebook you can report the persons profile, again kex has done this accompanied with TROOOOOOOOOOOLL!!! TROLL IN THE DUNGEON!!! I thought you might like to know!
