I’m one of those newbies you may be referring to, but thankfully I’m not stupid enough to think Lorianne is the women mentioned in the article. I saw a link to the story on AOL (great way to find news, right?) and as an adoptee, I found it interesting. The AOL link to the article didn’t work, and someone had posted a link to the discussion on your group in the comment section. I couldn’t post my comments without joining, so here I am. Is there a big issue with new people joining the forum or have you guys had trouble with trolls in the past?
Trolls who would join that day and post on a thread and all swear the ‘victim’ was their long lost brother/sister/mother/father/dog/cat etc....
Also, usually the trolls post once and never join the group and discuss what the others have posted. One slam wonders. Which is the case here. You’re the only one to actually discuss and read the whole thread. So thank you!
Lastly, yeah, the fact that some folks are bashing Lorianne (and being newbies too) makes it a bit rude and “trollish” in their hit and run behavior and ignoring the admins requests.
99.9% of the regulars here know that this is a news site and that what is posted ISN’T about the poster.
Otherwise, we like newbies....so welcome! Stay, have fun!
