Internet Trolls- How to Spot One, and What to Do

In summary, trolls are cowards who post to get an argument started, then sit back and count the responses. If you see a post that is repetitious or off-topic, or that seems to be troll-like in nature, be sure to respond.

I saw a bumper sticker once that said "Come to the Dark Side, we have cookies!" And I thought it was soooo funny. It stuck with me, so I use it here and there- like in this thread that I have started AND hijacked. LOLDH knows better than to try and follow what we are gabbing about on here. I think it might give him a headache. I don't ask questions about his Goldwing motorcycle boards and he doesn't ask questions about my Chef Success board! LOL

The direction this thread went on was a very positive one - figures a bunch of Cheffers can make lemonade from lemons.

Ahem... All my threads go in a positive direction, even if they have to do with someone being positively negative! :) LOL:angel:

It was cute. There were a few parts that scared my son (when the vulture tries to scare Horton)

It was really good. Lots of POSITIVE messages. Much better than I expected. My kids are still quoting it 3 weeks later.

I didn't see it but my kids did last month - in Ireland - with their aunt - they loved it - she said it was really cute as well - I might wait till it comes out on DVD and get it -

Love the hijack from what this thread started at - so glad I missed the drama this time!!
