I really don't see the fuss. It's not like we're paid to be on here answering customer service questions. Or are we??

The fuss for me, Lucky charm, is that I like to look at the threads in this and a couple other forums each day. What I do is to check them for newest to oldest. When this thing does his or thing, my ability to do that is greatly hampered. It's very cumbersome to wade through all these uprooted threads.

Is it a world crisis? Of course not. But it is a PITA, and it is meant to be just that.

It is quite aggravating but I have found that if I look at the original date and the last responder I can eliminate the dodo troll threads. Usually when an old thread is revived it is by a sicko troll and there are a lot of them out there.

Don't worry, be Happy!

Every few months some troll does this---maybe the same one with different names. Likes to see us comment on old topics. Probably hideously bored.

Seriously? Want to explain why you are doing this? You do realize how crazy this endless digging up old threads with nothing to say and disturbing SANE people from honest communications is, right?

Did you notice....the last line in the quote is godfreako spelled backwards?! Maybe it's a hint... and the quote is from The Merchant of Venice

Haha! So, it's probably some ninth grader who just read it in English class.

So true, users are often abusers. Live off the hardworking people and then laugh at them and try to make their lives miserable. I'm sure we bought her computer, smartphone, booze, and weed too.

I'm sure you don't mean to be offensive, RetRN, but your comment is. Some of us are disabled, not working outside of the home. I was a hardworking person and would give anything to be able to do this again. I purchased my own computer and smartphone. I don't drink or smoke. I've I said, I'm sure you didn't mean it, but your words are hurtful.

I had the same reaction when I read this post and the one that prompted it. It has a whiff of stereotyping and generalization.

Fact is, there are plenty disturbed people like this one who are employed, and there are plenty kind and considerate people who are not, for whatever reason.

Oh, and I enjoy wine. I guess I'm suspect, too. {#emotions_dlg.scared}

In defense of RetRN, I don't think she meant to offend anyone or infer than everyone abuses the system. I think she just tells it like she sees it and is merely stating her opinion. I tell it like I see it, and my opinions are often not appreciated. Have a good day ladies!

F1wilder did preface her comment by saying that she didn't think that RetRN meant to offend.

As for telling it like it is and stating opinions, that's all F1wilder did as well. I don't think she was rude or combative at all.

SuzyQ, we really don't even know if she is employed. People on these boards can make up whoever they are, I could say I'm a doctor. that's why they feel empowered. I take what people say wit a grain of salt. Most people on the board are aboveboard, but some are made up people who come on and make generalities and hurt people's feelings because they feel anonymous.

I agree with you totally, BeautyAddiction.
