What's on Your Mind

[East]

Relatively new here - but I was wondering if teh "Anonymous" postings conatined troll posts.

The very recent "How to break up with my long time partner without hurting him?" post sounded like a classic troll post to me. Throwing out a somewhat believable scenario question that would get lots of members interested and concerned, and responding with advice and condemnation. Then responding back, to keep the responses going. All for the amusement of the troll. How would this site (which is so courteous to everyone) know that this was a troll post, and deal with the troll? After a while, I really did not believe the OP.

You could have a point there. I have to admit that never occurred to me. I usually give people the benefit of the doubt unless my gut tells me otherwise and I am easily duped because of it...but I am right on the money with my gut most times so I have some balance.

I used to wonder who the anom poster was but I stopped wondering a long time ago. It would make sense if a troll used it now that you mention it.
