its just like life here, you have the good and the bad. the trick is to try and ignore the bad and stick with the good. That applies to posts, threads and people. good luck and welcome!!

The trolls are people who start fights and hurt others. Actually there is alot of fighting on here...but there are alot of nice people too. I think you will find this site helpful if you give it a chance. :) Welcome!

Wikipedia has a good article on the definition of "troll" :-)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troll_%28Internet%29

"An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who intentionally posts controversial or contrary messages in an on-line community such as an on-line discussion forum or group with the intention of baiting users into an argumentative response."

As far as the hoaxes go...ya just gotta be careful. And realize that you never really know a person on the Internet...just watch yourself and you'll be fine :-).

I've found the community to be quite helpful...

does time heal all wounds? yes because eventually we all die.

tick tick tick

waiting......

Unfortunately when dealing with a lot of people, personalities clash. Just pick your friends wisely, trust half of what you see and none of what you hear, and for heaven's sake, remember when you are typing something that the person on the other end can not see your body language, eyes, tone of voice, so things do get misinterpreted.
Welcome-by the way. Good to have ya.

trolls are pretty much people who sit on here and start shit with everyone about anything (took me a while to understand that one, too)... a lotta people fight, but look, you've got a bunch of depressed people in one space... just like real life you've got amazing people who will have your back no matter what then you've got all out assholes who live by the whole "misery loves company" thing... you learn who's who, we're just a bunch of regular people, you know?? everyones got their opinoins, those who are mature enough to have an adult conversation agree to disagree and those who aren't... well... they just cause trouble. just ignore all that. there's always something on here. a bunch of petty bullshit that people couldn't drop after highschool, i guess.

Okay, now I know what the trolls are, and to look out for myself. Does anyone have any information on if that situation was a hoax or not? Just reading that one sent me into an attack.

i had my troll ears trimmed back recently...how they lookin'?
good huh? :D

anyone have pie?

not so sure about that one, i know what you're talking about, but i'm callin it bs.... could be wrong, should give the benefit of the doubt, but really... don't believe any of it. people on here tend to pull that a lot. feel just as bad cause they've got enough problems if they have to feel they gotta do that, but i'm sure she's (or he's, you never know) fine. not too worried about it.
