confused liz

It is the Usenet name for someone who just appears on newsgroups or forums and posts things simply to wind up the locals :D

If you feed the trolls (in other words answer their posts) then you run the risk of them moving in and staying because you are feeding their nasty little habits :)

HTH

Hi Melody
Does that make Heidi (DOGS) a Troll?
Nicky

Well she appeared to have troll like tendancies at first ..but is settling down a bit now ...I think it was more a case of being unwise rather than anything else

:)

Melody

Hi Melody
Does that mean no one has found out who she is and that we're not going to run a book on who she really is?
Nicky

Do I detect a note of paranoia running through the forum at the moment ;-)

Sounds more like disapointment on Nicky's part, Leigh :) :)
Hoping for some cash perhaps? ;) :D :D :D

Well, I am dissapointed!
After all that fun we're no closer to the identity!
I expected to come on today and find a thread titled *DOGS - revealed* or something.
Nicky

I have a theory look about half way down the 'new settee'
thread :D :D
idle chat
LIZ

Thanx *Lurking Liz* ;) Will do that now.
If I don't get it I'll come back for more info.
Nicky

D'ya know you may be right, especially after the way we slagged her off on here during the series! :O
Nicky

yes and nobody has answered my 2nd question I'm having a confidence crisis here :)
liz

:D @ Liz
I don't think you are a Troll :)

Liz,
I don't know which post you refer too, but I don't think you are a 'Troll' ;-)

thankyou :) feel much better now I'm quite a gentle creature at heart !!!!!!
liz

Definately not a troll Liz :p :D, although why an image of Jade saying "Do you think I'm minging?" swung into my head I don't know :D :D :D

More than a note Lol :D

Read somewhere onc e that just because your paranoid, doesn't mean they're not out to get you! :D :D

That's one of hubby's favorite sayings from playing D&D too many times :rolleyes: :D

D[$D .. that's a blast from the past ]-)

Well, he's pretty much left it behind since he prefers suiting up in Armour and beating people profusly about the head with "swords" and "axes" --- Rattan Bamboo wrapped up with duct tape. And yes, if the padding isn't right, it can break limbs and/or leave nasty bruises.
He had to pick one, so he chose the real "blast from the past" ;) :D :D :D His goal is to go to the huge Armour museum at Leeds one of these days :rolleyes:

LOL@Sara. I used to turn a pretty penny painting D&D 'figures' for gamers and model shops alike. My dragons and semi naked, 'armoured' women were quite sort after at one time :D

They're still popular, too :rolleyes: He still likes painting the pewter figures for Warhammer etc... as "relaxation" :)

Hey, have you thought of going to work for "Enchantica"? -- British company that USED to have well painted "fantasy" figurines of Unicorns, dragons, etc.... Now they're heavy brushed and hard coloured :( :( :( I know you could do much better. You're artsy ;) :) :) :)

I used to find it very relaxing too Sara .. and getting paid to 'relax' was even better :D
To be honest, I'm not sure that I have the time to take it up again at present. I also prefer to do 'one off' figures and I'm not sure if I could paint 'en mass'. I liked the flexibility, of taking a figure and making it up as my mood took me. I will keep it in mind though, thanx for the memory jog :-)

Hmm, just took a look at the website -- Apparently its now owned by Royal Doulton. And THEY wrecked the painting style?????
Mom dragged me through that 'factory' on her quest for porcellain knowledge long ago. She used to paint/create repros long ago. But she's been a repairer for over 20 years of antique dolls, figurines, and other "stuff" :rolleyes: I have none of her talent :( ;) :D

Anyway, in case you want to take a peek at what I"m referring to :D
Enchantica

I used to collect the Enchantica figures, when I could afford them, but they're definitely not as good since Holland Studiocraft sold out to Royal Doulton. Shame, but it saves my pennies!;)
LynnT

Saves my pennies too. --- same when David Winters was bought out by Enesco. The paint jobs on those are also very heavyhanded :(

Liz AKA Steve

I've been back to look, I'm sorry:( It's just where my post landed.

Noooooooooooo:D T'was me who mentioned Troll and it was in NO WAY WHAT SO EVER AIMED AT YOU - :D I'm not shouting just speaking firmly:D :D
I enjoy threads like the biography one, but every so often I get reminded that we aren't all in a nice pub having a drink:) But out in cyber space where *anyone* can fly by And the way the board has been lately I've been reminded:) But not by you:D

Reefer
thanks for the reply I've just been a bit over sensitive I can understand why not every one wants all their details plastered all over .It was just the way it landed after I'd posted something daft .thanks for taking time out to explain --:)
I know it says steve but I'm LIZ and I don't know how to change it (Leigh ?)
peace and harmony restored :D

I really am very sorry, talk about putting your foot in it:D People know all sorts of stuff about me on here, just kinda comes out eventually anyway:D

Anita - who has now left herself wide open for people to fill you in:D

no harm done ;) :)

OOOh - the things I could tell you about Anita :D :D :D :D :D

Seriously though - with the exception of those who come here solely to cause trouble we're all honest people who share a common love of dogs.

I prefer to remain a woman of mystery;) Far more intersting than the *real thing*;)
