... Trolldom is a funny old world...
Holly is 'Space Invader', I'm a 'Frontiersman'. Naturally we cross paths and often meet in the middle. My role is to creat new territories & his is to conquer them. That's the battle of 'wits'. I must have known Holly online now since around '08 ?
Would love to met him for a drink & a chat.
For all I play the game of taking him seriously we both know that it's just a game.
His fury is as real as my outrage.
His only 'fail' in the world of trolldom is his honesty - And if anything that's to his credit.
Where he tripped up is in using the Net properly (Linked In and stuff like that) and also improperly (Having Trollish fun ! ) And everybody joined the dots.
You have to do one or the other. Both don't work unless you are savvy.
That's what I mean about his honesty. He's there in his own right too much to swing the Troll persona thing.
Personally, I lie my socks off and always use a Mate's name when I have to appear 'in my own right'. I don't use the Net legitimately at all. It's just a promotional thing for various promotions to me.
Hunt me down and all you'll find is a 'Postman' - One who posts the work of others. It's all a cut and paste job from emails.
This is nothing unusual online if you know online & how to play with it.
The very nature of the Net lends itself to this.
'Sammy Ambrose' understands this.
Best -
Yawn.
Armchaired- Loved your byline... Wait, no, I didn't quite mean it that way, err..ummm...., nice weather!
Army - Moderate this place for 5 years like I did and let's swap notes then, eh ?
The other scary thought is that I've been on here for 7 years ...
