Domination Trolls
Recently, it has become apparent that there are probably trolls also
operating as list managers. I am unclear as to the specific motivations for
this type of activity, but it may be:
 a.. gratification from dominating the emotional lives of list members

Why can't you simply show some compassion for the people that are suffering
on this newsgroup and drop all this nonsense??  It is supposed to be the
season of goodwill.  If you truly have had some experience of cancer, then
turn that experience around to the good of others and stop slating those
here that do a good damn job.

Hi Alayne, If you go to a meeting or even work and nobody will talk to you,
would you stay?
My point: ignore him. (do not reply, even if your curiosity gets the best of
you, of what nonsense he's spouting off about).
We all know his posts are nonsense, right?
Hugs

How was Christmas hun?
Did you get away for a few days?
Are the kids home this week from school?
(I think they have the whole week off here).  But everybody's been so quiet -
very cold here and tons of snow....

I had a wonderful (and very noisy) Christmas thank you J.  Bad Manners were
bril. although Buster Blood Vessel is quite literally "half the man" he used
to be.  Walking on a beach on Christmas Day was sublime (Kelly & Nikki even
managed a paddle) but far far too damn cold for more than that.

With 4 adults and 7 kids in a 2 bed bungalow - was sure welcoming to get
home though ;-)

Yes, the girls are off all week but then so am I :-) - no snow though :-(

Hope you and all here had a good Christmas too.

Warm Hugs

did he lose weight or is he ill?  I haven't heard of Bad Manners for years.
It's about time, I went to UK :-)
there is a show on university radio, Tuesday afternoons, they play hits from
various years.
I was enjoying hearing that today.

Paddle a boat or paddling in the water?

Whoosh..11 people in 2 -bed bungalow. I would have been glad to get home too,
although it does sound like you had a wonderful getaway.

> Yes, the girls are off all week but then so am I :-) - no snow though :-(

Hugs back to you, Alayne, it's good to have you back.

I think the weight loss was due to illness, someone said trouble with the
stomach and was under doctors orders to lose it or lose himself.  Little
secret (come closer); before my first motorbike my music tastes were very
different and ska was my ally and I looked dead cool (or so I thought) in
black and white clothing - hence my joy at seeing Bad Manners again ;-)

Paddling in the water (although Kelly had her swimsuit on underneath her
clothing because she was convinced she would swim in the sea - until she
discovered how freezing it was!)

Present opening was absolute bedlam, fortunately I had the good sense to do
the Santa stockings at home on Christmas Eve, and sharing a bed with my
snoring kid sister was an experience (not had someone in bed beside me for
yonks now, just as well she was a relative and female ;-)
