Lisa - don't feed the trolls.
I know I am guilty of it myself & it's difficult not to reply
when someone is writing abuse about you.
Just rest assured that "iamtheman" is an alcoholic who can't hold down a job.

Have you heard of the psychology theory called negative strokes?
From my understanding - when some people - read "iamtheman" -
don't get positive attention & positive strokes - they replace
it by receiving negative strokes.
In this way they still feel important & in some way admired
or at least noticed.
This is a sickness & people who suffer from this
can't help themselves.
The best defense is to re-inforce positive strokes
by only replying to positive comments.
I hope this will help you deal with some of the characters on these forums?

cheers
Bobby.

Hey Bobby

I am going to TRY and DO this from now on because quite frankly I am over all the BS these flamer/trolls infest these boards with.

They are getting worse, not better. BTW, I did check, and NO other Blah-hoo boards go down so often, just the Aus ones. No legitimate excuse for it.
