Has anyone else noticed the number of ridiculous threads started the last few days by new people? It really looks like they're just trolls posting nonsense to see how people here react. The "who's to blame?" thread was the final straw before I started this thread.

I've been thinking the same thing but was reluctant to post it over fears of starting a flame war. To me it seems of late that there's been a bumper crop of trolls on the forum asking lurid, if not outrightly stupid questions. Thanks for having the guts to bring it up.

I hope my one about "Nice" porn wasn't what you consider trolling, becaus eI was totally sincere.

I actually hadn't looked at that thread, so no, it wasn't about you :)

From my perspective, concern over trolls on this site may be more a reflection of your own fear of differences. Labelling someone a troll may say more about the labeller than a person being accused of thinking "too differently" or having ridiculous questions.
Just who is the group of infiltrators that you fear? Is it CSIS or the CIA, communists, extremist Christians ....? Its Harper right?....:bigrin:

No, it's not fear, it's just pattern recognition. I don't really reveal anything personal on here but I don't want those who do to get duped into something revealing because a group of kids somewhere thought it'd be funny troll on bisexual.com.

I hope those 'Meddling kids' start a thread like "Is paranoia a bisexual tendency?".:bigrin:
