I'm so glad we don't have any of these problems on our EO forums!!
WAY TO GO GUYS AND GALS!!!!!!
Trolls and other nasty creatures
I have observed that many forums have been invaded by trolls,ogres,slime-nits and forum goblins.
Trolls are those that drop in on a forum under different guises to stir the pot. They carry a big rusty pole and stir around the mud and bring up subjects,just to see who will bite on them.They generally drop their troll bombs and watch in silence with considerable glee, as the hoards snap and bite at each other till blood is drawn.
These creature are a hit and run and never bother to add their opinion.
Ogres are much like trolls but these cowardly,intellectually stunted monsters often use name calling as part of their repartee,they have a limited vocabulary for the names they use though.
You will notice that they tend to use words like....moron,stupid,and dummy.They are quick to anger and are known to be easily lead though,just keep posting to them and sure enough they come right back! They get to the point that they stomp their ogre feet and swear they will never come back,but then sneak back in through the backdoor when they think no one is looking.
Slime-nits are bottom feeders that are small creatures that cling to certain trolls and ogres. Like a groupie or an adoring fan. They follow the trolls and ogres posts witha religious like zeal and agree and coddle and generally give their life over to their hero troll/ogre. Their loyalty is somewhat short lived as is their attention span. If it looks like their chosen God/Goddess troll/ogre seems to be losing the battle,the slime-nit will slip quietly away in search of another hero to attach themselves too. These insignificant creatures have been known to have a "flavor of the week" for hero-worship. They change their adoration quickly as soon as they notice that another troll/ogre is paying attention to them or if their chosen one decides that the slime-nit isn't worthy of them and tries to exterminate the slime-nit.
Then we have a monster I like to call a Forum Goblin. These creatures are boastful and tend to be bullies. They always feel that what they say is right and no mere human should ever question what they say as law! They tend to belittle any other that has a differing opinion. When cornered these goblins do resort to copy and pasting opinions or verses that are not their own. Or they will pick apart a humans opinion and twist it around to the point it is no longer recognizable. Forum goblins are very hard headed and have skin of steel. They are impossible to get rid of. Forum goblins also get extremely upset when confronted with words using more then 4 letters in them.
Of all the things I've lost in my life, I think I miss my mind the most!!
