Re: So, what's the troll's real identity?

Here is the thread, put the kettle on, make a cuppa and put your feet up. It's a long read and actually quite funny in parts.

Well , in saying that, we've had a little tiff, coz he has a forum and i completely slagged it off and i don't think he was happy, but it was how i felt about it, i still like him, but......... whispers..........he does think he's God

No one got Megs banned. He/she was one of the trolls and that is the reason he/she was banned.

OMG!

Im going to read that thread. I didnt really know megs to be honest and rarely conversed with him.

Isnt it funny that trolls feel so at ease with the BE family, they can never get enough identities!

Are you saying that Megs was one of Fuzzy Duck's various aliases or that he was a different troll?

To be honest Sue, there arent many long time posters on here that didnt know that Megs was technically a troll & had various usernames, I just personally didnt see the reason for banning him - he wasn't abusive & didnt usually get in your face, just made humourous & insightful posts that often had a sting in the tail, which is why some people used to get uptight about him

As I've already stated he was banned because he had multiple aliases and misled members of the forum, that in itself is reason enough to ban someone.

I'm not going into details about who he/she was, I just wanted to lay to rest the rumour he/she was banned because a troll got him banned.

Thanks Sue.

It's really not that important for us to know who one particular troll is. A troll is a troll, that's all we need to know. If someone has been banned for being racist/abusive or whatever and rejoins under a different name we cannot expect the "new" poster to be different from the previously banned troll.

Ban on sight, I'd say!
