From my seat... I don't think the issue lies within the existence of trolls. They have always been here & always will be. I personally do not understand their motivation, but hey I am a Blonde & I have other things more interesting to occupy my mind with. I picture a troll being a person who lives in their parent's basement. lol When you picture the troll like that it makes it a bit more fun.
The difference if you ask me, occurred when our playground went through all the drama a few short years back. My first reviewer was a member of a little board, thanks to him in a round about way I was able to be accepted in that wonderful place. I loved that little board! People really cared, supported & enjoyed each other over there.
As far as M&Gs goes, I put one together, it was quite fun! I was blessed with my very first lap dance that night. BUT I received so much grief for even thinking I could pull off a successful M&G. At the time, most were convinced there was only one person who could truly keep them safe at M&Gs. I proved I could do it
Fear is what blocks most. Common sense is one thing, paranoia is another. And paranoia is what has created such a negative board environment. The trolls have always been here, always will be. How far they crawl out is up to the members of this board. When I first arrived here, if a troll posted a nasty comment especially on a lady's ad the white knights would rise up. Then the bitching began about the white knights. So, that stopped. Ladies try to be creative, pictures threads were fun BUT once again the bitching starts & that stops. Point? There will always be negative trolls lurking to ruin someone's day- as a whole we need to take back the attention & focus on having safe fun
There is a lot of wonderful men & ladies here lurking every day. Quietly observing one train wreck after another without saying a word. I know because I have sat quietly in amazement & watched quite a few. I don't post because to me it is not generally worth it to do so.
