The Great Troll Phobia
Seems to be a assumption more and more that any newish poster with a small post count must be a troll until proven otherwise..
My view is to give anyone the benefit of the doubt until its obvious they are here just to shyte stir which is generally fairly obvious.
Recently there have been some fair questions or reasonable statements made by new posters that are shot down without any real evidence that they are trolls...
Personally I am unconcerned by their presence in any case...if I think anyones a troll I generally ignore them and don't feed their obvious need for attention and to get a reaction.
Just think we are probably burning some good new posters including young ones unfairly in the interests of upholding some sort of witchhunt mentality...
Troll alert!!!!Troll Alert!!!!
Has become a way of vilifying anyone we don't agree with...
Sure they are here but lets not be too hasty to make that judgement without more than a gut feel...
May'be a pm could be employed to confirm suspicions but its boring and uneccessary to get off topic to tell all of us what we probably already know..
70% OF THREADS HIGHJACKED THIS WAY!!
This Troll phobia along with the spelling police re our younger posters /and the trading of insults between 2 posters with the threat of reports to the mods/adds nothing of any value to Saintsational..
Don't mean to be preachy but thought it neede to be said

Completely agree St. Pat,
There have been a couple that IMO seemed perfectly reasonable, however we do have to be very cautious ahead of a Carlton match.
God help us if we lose!!

Its quite clear the 'troll' defense comes out when particular posters can't seem to comprehend fair and reasonable criticism of the Saints.
Why be level headed, reasonable and honest when you can be blindly biased.

From Wiki;
All the trolls are to blame.Trolls can be costly in several ways. A troll can disrupt the discussion on a newsgroup, disseminate bad advice, and damage the feeling of trust in the newsgroup community. Furthermore, in a group that has become sensitized to trolling — where the rate of deception is high — many honestly naïve questions may be quickly rejected as trollings. This can be quite off-putting to the new user who upon venturing a first posting is immediately bombarded with angry accusations. Even if the accusation is unfounded, being branded a troll is quite damaging to one's online reputation.

One of the reasons l stopped posting, still read a lot on here, but that's it..........
"Our season is still alive," Lyon said. "It's not the end for Robert."
Harvey's mates stood listening to those words, perhaps planning to keep the AFL's longest career lingering a while yet. Then turned into softcocks and blew it YET again.

Yeah Joffa's got my number, Oscar. I can change my nick as many times as I want, but you'll always be... well... you'll always be you.
Seriously though, if you stop taking potshots thru other comments, I might leave you alone... unless of course you want to back yourself in om your threat to make me cry. Odds are you're just a coward as I've said all along.
If you actually think that your insults actually upset me, then you're p1ssing in the wind, pal.
And I was refering to Reincarnated. He's not your son in law. He's someone completely different than your feeble paranoid little mind suspects.
The joke's on you Oscar!
Now give us a kiss and let's be friends.

I guss that's the difference between you and me.
I'm on here for a bit of fun and discussion. If you think that being banned will affect my life, then you really deluded.
so you can take your little threats and shove 'em where the proctolgist if too afraid to go.
You on the other hand, havemad eover 17,000, yes SEVENTEEN THOUSAND posts, including cut n paste of news articles.
So at a rough guess, it's you who'd miss not being here. After all, this is where you can express the real you without fear of harm.
Let's be honest, this forum and the footy are the sum total of your "social" life.
You should consider joining FPA: Forum Posters Anonymous.
Now give us a kiss.
BTW, you're the one that made the threat on another thread. So u think I'm a coward, then like i said, feel free to pm me to catch up for a chat.
