By my estimations, the following have all been caught in my TROLLNET. All have subsequently been tested on my TROLLOMETER.
Here's the haul: Fiona Cheryl Helen Emma Roberta Ian Samuel Johnny Howard Harry Willie Eldon Tharold.
These, according to my TROLLOMETER are one and the same person.
Anyone like to add to the list.

Someone has pm'ed me suggesting that
"in fact there are only 15 people who post on this board, all of them with multiple names".
I do not agree with this suggestion. I have counted up to 20 seperate posters, and some of them do not use multiple names.

I figure if I'm tempted to post using any other name it's something I shouldn't be writing anyway ...

Does anyone more familiar with the proboards service know whether or not proboards offers some kind of IP indicator on each post other than this IP Logged Icon?
What would be nice is some kind of IP Hash... something that identifies each IP as a unique identifier without providing information that can be used on a lookup service.

On second thought ........
Why does anyone "troll", and what are they hoping to accomplish?
If a member of the f&w's fellowship is happy & secure with their beliefs, what is the point of baiting exes?
That goes for exes also. If we're happy & spiritually fulfilled with our present day situation, what is the advantage of posting an inflammatory comment?
Or - is this trolling just an immature person(s) who has nothing better to do with their time? If so, I'd like to respectfully request that anyone who fits this description spend their time making a positive difference in their world/city/family, instead of playing games on this board. Life is too short to waste.
I'm all for debate and discussions between both f&w's and exes, as we can learn from each other and grow spiritually through our exchanges.

uh oh - you mean you can add "trolling" to our sins? I didn't know what "trolling" was, and now we find that we too have been trolls? We'll get our bit sorted out - there are two of us, and we have our own accounts on the one machine, but from time to time will use whatever account is logged on.

I admitted no such thing. I thought someone was trying to get my attention. If others post similar posts, thats not my fault.

Proboards use to post the IP address- so that was an easy way to find out who was who. I dont know why they don't anymore, or if it's merely an option.
As for myself, I dont post under any name other than this one.

but posting as an anonymous "just me" is kinda fun

If others post similar posts, thats not my fault. Howard, not that it really matters, but your wording has piqued my curiosity because it may provide insight into your thinking. Are you only denying ADMITTING it, or are you also denying BEING it?

Gene My wording was quite clear. It was ststed that I had admitted something that I had not admitted. I attempted to correct that error. For the sake of clarity: I did not admit to being the same person as Emma and Johnny.
On my thinking, Gene, you could waste a lot of time believing that I think.
On the topic of Trolls, My analysis is that there are more trolls and double identities that at first apparent. I suspect that the main posters on this board also use several regsitered names, in order to prolong the discussion of the agendas they bring. I don't really see anything wrong with that, it can provide entertaining reading, and the detective work and thinking trying to figure it all out is a great way to waste further time. Take as an example the thread "another portion of scripture". As I write this post, there are so far 14 posts on that thread. But I think they are by only 3 people; Rob, Bert and BC. Between them they have managed to extend the thread to 14 posts, presumably to make a point not actually written in the words. Can you figure out the point being made?

Howard/Emma/Willie/whatever account you're using,
There is no logical connection between your assertions that registered people are using different names to post and the alleged example. If you can't see any points in the discussion it may just be that you don't really know what the discussion is about. Fair enough. But it's a fabrication in your own mind to point to the thread as an example of what you're on about. Actually, I just see your post as an attempted diversion.
Troll on.

"There is no logical connection between ..."
should perhaps read "I can see no logical connection between...."
My point was not what your discussion was about, it was about the underlying apparent points being made without being said.
I did note that you (for one) didn't deny using multiple names to post. That might have just been an omission.

"There is no logical connection between ..." should perhaps read "I can see no logical connection between...." No. I'm good. I meant exactly what I said. There is no logical connection. What, pray tell, are those "apparent points"? And what the heck do they have to do with using multiple names? As I said above... If I spent all my time a priori stating everything I don't do, I would have no time to say what I want. Save your breath for those who play games.

I think this is going no-where.
When the suggestion is that you use multiple names, and you fail to deny, its an unreasonable excuse that you gave (If I spent all my time a priori stating everything I don't do, I would have no time to say what I want).
"No. I'm good. I meant exactly what I said. There is no logical connection"
You are very good, but perhaps not good enough to answer your own question (What, pray tell, are those "apparent points"?")
But as you say. Lets save breath!

I think this is going no-where. It's going nowhere because you are attempting to divert attention from your multiple name posting activities...and I'm not playing ball. Frankly, I don't care if you think it's reasonable or not. For the record, I don't post under any name other than my own. But I doubt that will mean anything because you are just pot-stirring, and will now claim you don't believe me. Which is fine, because I don't believe you are not Emma/Willie/(insert name).

With ALL due respect to ALL the 'identities' on this board and in this thread, I do think that 'howard' could be onto something here...I too have noticed very similar writing styles and consistency of ideas expressed by posters of differing names, yet seemed to be the same or at least very very similar. Yet, I don't have an issue with it, because to me they are just handles or nicknames; not real names. Is this game playing, I suppose somewhat.... like using different monopoly pieces or something when you play .. the piece you use represents you at that time..for that game. Just fyi for whoever may care, I was posting unregistered for a while under certain words phrases which were actually part of my message and post. However , lately I am only able to post under 2 different registered nics, which most of you can probably guess...I have not used my real name on here nor do I intend to.
