You can see it in their diversions and the tactics they use. BD is as much a troll, by his tactics and his play, as he is a idiot. Just look at his posts, they follow the very clear ideals of trolling - and it's almost good at it. -- You can't trust your best friends, your five senses, only the little voice inside you that most civilians don't even hear -- Listen to that.

You say they are trolls because of their tactics... I say they are just people who have strong personalities ... It's when personalities and methods conflict that people get labeled, and it isn't any more right to label someone a troll as it is to create virus's and deliver those virus's to peoples computers to do harm. > > BD is as much a troll, by his tactics and his play, as he is a idiot. BD asks questions, and challenges many of the answers he gets. Paying attention as to why people do what they do really helps in being able to respond without taking things personal and getting angry. > Just look at his posts, they follow the very clear ideals of trolling - > and it's almost good at it. I've been a target of BD's questions, too... but I was patient and I understand what his goal was... We are friends because I gave him the space to be himself and I accept him as he is. -- Jenn (from Oklahoma)

My goal *is* the same now as it always was - to determine how bad guys operate on the Internet. One small point you may have missed in this thread. Peter Foldes said "Knowing Dave since he started posting in late 2005" How many posters, taken at random, would have any clue at all as to *when* I started posting in newsgroups? Answer - none! Peter Foldes knows because he has been stalking me ever since I started looking for answers after the theft of �245 from my bank account - money taken fraudulently from my account by PayPal (subsequently recovered). He even engineered luring me to Annexcafe User2User, a place I would *never* have discovered in normal course. IIRC, I first went there in ........ late 2005!!! ;-) Jenn - all of your posts here are welcome, btw! ;) Dave
