CFrance. I was just investigating the meaning of flaming on the internet and of being a troll.

I think a lot of us react to a topic that is sometimes only a deliberate attempt of a new poster to "get things going".

Many people wish to remain anonymous on a public forum because of a fear of ....a lot of things, but usually normal, friendly people will post some kind of avatar, of a flower or puppy, or tell things about them that will give some clue as to whether they are moving from Ohio or live in Tamarind Grove and whether they are a golfer and want to buy a villa etc.etc.etc.

When a new poster hits the forum with a real jab against something, my "hinky meter" goes on ...(That is what Patty says anyway)

And as Judge Judy says, when it just doesn't sound right, it probably is a lie.

It takes a lot to pull the wool over the eyes of us very smart seniors but some people sometimes.....with young sounding names just love to do it.

I think I was suckered in this morning and yesterday for sure.

You lives and you learns.

I am going shopping and I am gonna buy me a new squirt gun.
