last comment on the troll

I guess the troll sounded as if he had a problem anyway. Just the way he repeated the same damn shit as he had the first time around was enough. The only thing that did surprise me about him was that he didn't bother to deny that it was him the first time round. He must have known his thread had been deleted. Maybe he thought it'd just been moved somewhere to an old threads forum or something. And you can have secret forums on Ezboard too that don't show up on the forum list to anyone except members of the secret forum, not even other members of the board. And I suppose it was always possible that he'd been caught out that way before. Saying it wasn't him so he hadn't said what people were saying he had and then someone had produced his thread from a hidden admins forum or something.

But it did surprize me that he didn't deny he was the one who'd been there before. I would be very surprized if he hadn't noticed that his last thread was missing from the board. Maybe he had been caught out before. I doubt if he'd've thought his thread had been removed for examination because it wasn't long enough. He'd left pretty early when he came by with his other account, probably things had got busy over another board he was trolling and he'd left us for better things. I don't know if he was trolling another board while he was posting on our board this time, I suppose it was possible that he still had more accounts on the go on Ezboard and he was gone a fair time between posts. We obviously interested him quite a bit though because he stayed reading the board quite a long time after he couldn't post anymore.

He deleted the account he used for the first visit I saw him on the board. The name he used interested me so I thought I'd try and join Ezboard using that name, the one the same as his but without the number at the end and see who else was using it. But when I went to join I forgot I was taking the number off and typed the name he'd used when he joined our board. And what d'ya know ... the name was free, so he'd deleted that account for some reason or other. I wouldn't have thought he'd've deleted it because of anything that had happed on our board because I was the only person there talking to him and I hadn't behaved much differently than when he'd visited this time. I suppose he could've had a good night's trolling and had trouble with ezboard and had delelted his account with us hoping he wouldn't be found there as well. He would've been actually but maybe he didn't know that. It was odd that he was using an account from three years before so maybe there had been some trouble with Ezboard. But there was nothing posted up by them to say that he had been banned by them.

Who knows?? I don't know enough about the system to know if there are other options.

He obviously did have some problem though because of the way he was repeating himself, though I'd say he had been trolling the boards for some time, not just because of his old account, but also because he had replying to people down pat. You'd think he spent ages practicing. Years probably.

I've noticed that people who do this kind of thing often repeat themselves just like he did. I suppose it's simpler than having to be inventive but it does make them sound robotic. It's really just another sign that there's something possibly not quite right. Or just laziness. Who knows.

You can't really do much with this kind of person. Therapy doesn't often work because instead of learning how to improve their behaviour they sit there and gather information which will help them understand other people better so that they can continue trying to undermine them with more sucess. Do they know it's wrong? Yes, ofcourse they do but they chose to do it anyway. It's a personality disorder rather than a mental illness. I suppose the level of understanding does correspond with levels of different kinds of inteligence, but most have a fairly good understanding of what's right and wrong.

I know the boards tend to get them around in clutches. But I don't think the two I saw on the board The Friendly Guy and last nights one were aware of each other. I'm not sure about the Cuban Guy, he had language problems and the phrase he'd been banned for using he'd used replying to a question that someone had put to him using that phrase. And he came from a different culture where women had been seen as being a useful part of the revolution and this might have caused some problems together with his limited use of language and method of speech. I don't know. He had been accused of doing things he hadn't done as well which might have made him angry.

But the other two definitely were. The Helpful Guy had used the board's Ezboard Supporter's icon without having paid to for the privilidge and Ezboard had banned him from all their boards. Wonder how they found that out with all the people out there on the boards.

The one who visited twice certainly was to .... "All women are parasites blah di blah di blah" Not exactly subtle and yet he could keep the retorts going. Something else happened that you think might connect to him but I'm pretty sure didn't and that was that two members from other boards turned up and stayed and watched while he was trolling and then left after he'd stopped posting. I knew one from a private board I was a member of and I guess still am probaby but I'm never back there reading or posting, not for any reason other than we didn't have too much in common but it was quite nice to hang round on for a while. They talked America with more than a touch of religion, they weren't bigots in any way, I just didn't have much to add to the connversation not living just up stream from any of them and so I couldn't join in talking about local customs or anything. And that's how quite a bit of the board used to go. I also met her on another board where she was fine but it still left me feeling a bit lost because a lot of it was bound up talking about parts of the country that I didn't know and where they were going to go and what they were going to do for holidays and weekends. And they went on lots of trips together if they lived nearby each other.

Another person came by and watched too who I've seen visiting a few times. I was quite surprized because we hardly ever have two members from other boards reading the board at once, but it was just one of those things, they'd just happened to turn up to see that. And we didn't have lots of guests reading either. If we had we could have welcomed them and asked them if they wanted a cyber cup of tea.

Cup o tea anyone?

Our board is slowing right down anyway. I started a new thread yesterday ... and it wasn't about music .. yay me!! and Beach and Kristi stopped by to post in it. And Kristi started a new one which might start a book club over there if anyone wants to read the book. I might. Last time I said I would she just got so busy and I didn't get round to it either. The board needs more threads. It needs a few more members too and a bit more fun going on there, but not the kind of member like Mr "all women are parasites" not the kind of "fun" he brought with him, it just gets tedious.
