Who here would even do that?  :S
I like to think we have a little gang of 'normal' people.

Well people are entitled to their opinions I suppose.  I guess it is true you can’t please all of the people all of the time although pissing them off is easy.  I won’t make a fuss in retrospect, will just ignore.  I get worse at work!

Trolling is horrible and disappointing to find it going on here.  I normally switch off private messaging on every forum I join because I have been abused in the past.

It's really important that you tell us if problems are occurring. We can't do anything unless you let us know what happened.

I'm very disappointed to hear that people on this forum are trolling. I thought we were a civilised bunch of open minded people enjoying each others' virtual company. I hope mods will disembowelremove them pronto.

We can't unless we're told who they are and what they said.

Shocked, and very disappointed.  Makes me feel very uncomfortable....

Why do these people need the anonymity of a PM?  If you have something to say, bring it to the Public posts!  :angry:

I'm so surprised we have members on here who'd do that  :o

So are we, which is why we'd like to know who.

So am I. I was shocked to hear that this was happening. I wonder if it has happened to anyone else and they haven't said anything either? It's such a lovely forum and such a shame this has happened.

Yes it really is, I wish RD would submit the report as of yet we have no more information than anyone else.

I agree it should be looked into. @Ravingdoll there might have been other instances directed at people not as well equipped to deal with as you. I also think that if and when these person or persons are identified they should be named as having been removed.

I think the important aspect of naming the culprit(s), isn't for the purpose of retaliation - in any form whatsoever, simply to reassure the rest of us.

I for one don't want to be exposing myself to trolling, simply for posting a pic which someone doesn't like, or worse, expressing an opinion someone doesn't like.

As I said, makes me very uncomfortable.  Like having a spy in the camp....

We are locking this thread temporarily to avoid speculation. We will let members know any outcome once we receive the report.
