Am i the only one....

[Carolwildbird]

.. to be a little sceptical about three of the newbies joined over the last few days? Is someone having a laugh? (sorry newbies- if you are genuine.. we all start somewhere). We have Viking sailor who is an "experienced sailor" in North Norway but doesnt seem to have an idea about boats. Nevandadam who are starting to be liveaboards also with no knowledge of boats; and MrMgee333 with his odd questions about work on corporate yachts.

I don't mind naive questions ( I ask enough of them!) but these seem a little too odd to be genuine, and wonder about wasting tie answering. Or are you all more charitable than me.

Hi there,,i said i was experianced up here in the north of Norway,by that i mean conditions,ie how many times have you been out in -20,,and my experiance about boats is very limited,i am not afraid to ask for advice,thats why i made millions as a investor,,

 

[absit_omen]

I agree Carol, seem to be quite a few trolls around at the moment - not all of them in Norway. Sit back and enjoy /forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif

when i saw you describe yourself as a " retired investor " on the other thread, i must admit i felt a pang of envy /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

tell me - is " lol " a norwegian word ?

 

[chris220954]

I think you say in English "up yours ",mr anteak,your the sort of person who when he comes up to norway for a hikeing or outdoor holiday goes and gets lost in the mountains and then some one has to put his \ her life at risk to rescue you,we have had them all up here ,especially from cornwall,get it,[--word removed--],i learn this word at a football match in london,,

 

[chris220954]

You seem to have picked up the meaning of the word 'troll' on these forums rather quickly for a newbie.

Carry on, big boy, I am enjoying it.

 

[NOHOH]

....er....or the (phone)forumjacker.......the postings for all three are so similar...its the same person just taking the piss

 

[absit_omen]

Yes, dogs balls.

I wonder when he will admit to being rumbled.

[chris220954]

i am betting that you are 4ft tall,bad acne ,no boat,no money,and quite a sad little bugger,,am i right,

 

[LadyJessie]

Carol; you called it. I am the naive one who fell for a troll. Oh well, hopefully there is still some useful info on that thread.

But the overriding concern is that there seem to be more troll attacks on this forum lately. A shame, as that can diminish the interest in sharing real useful stuff. They are wasting our time and space for some juvenile pleasure. You are really a very sad person if that gives you any satisfaction. Please seek help, but not the type you can get here.

 

[Oliveoyl]

No LJ, we are the naive two! Should know better at my age.
However, I do have a troll in my garden, and my wakeup music is from Peer Gynt, so maybe I should change my name to "troll-friend"?

 

[chris220954]

Hi there,i must say that i am a bit shocked by the replys from a few of you,i come on this web site to get some advice and then i get called a troll,whatever that means,i have had some really great answers from some genuine people,and i will take there advice ,as for the rest of you,,my god your so stuck up,but thats a British thing isnt it,we dont have snobs in Norway,

 

[LadyJessie]

I am not sure you even know where Norway is. You are certainly not from Norway; can I guess a small bedsit it the Midlands.....?

I noticed our Norwegian visitor when I looked in this morning and had my suspicions - his spelling difficulties are not generally repeated in the punctuation. It's sometimes not easy, but we must all remember:
