Well they came out over on Birejji anyway, lots of spam and cussing out the mods, and people being banned and muted. I hope we don't see a lot of trolls on here today. Why do you suppose the trolls come out on Halloween? Overgrown kids who miss trick or treating? And they didn't get invited to anybody's party? What is it about people who like to spam anyway?

I wonder where banished trolls go? I'd like to avoid it, wherever it is.
I didn't notice any trolls here yesterday, most likely because I wasn't here yesterday. It had nothing to do with Halloween, either. I just had other things to do, like getting things outside ready for winter, oohing and aahing at my son's new car when he brought it over to show off, playing Scrabble Slam! with my son and husband and laughing harder than I have laughed in a long time because my husband can't spell to save his soul, things like that.
So, I wasn't anywhere else where trolls could come out, either. I didn't notice any outside in the yard. That's probably because we don't even get trick or treaters around here so the trolls wouldn't have the opportunity to wreak havoc on many people around here.
Ah, right, in the morning I was watching The Munsters. Last night, I watched The Addams Family for awhile. It was an all-day thing with those two shows on one channel, can't remember which one now. They were great old shows. I miss them.
Anyway, no trolls in my life yesterday so I guess I can say I had a pretty good day.
As for exactly who these trolls are, I'd have to say they're frustrated bullies in real life who only have the internet (and anonymity) to do their bullying. It's a real shame but I'm glad to hear that the ones you dealt with yesterday were banned and muted. I'd love to hear that they're all vanquished to one place where they can only do their trolling among other trolls, which should be extremely frustrating to them. Ah, yes, they need a lifetime of utter frustration, away from the general public.

I didn't any trolls on here at all yesterday, only on the other site, and they were quickly dealt with.
Frustrated bullies sounds about right.

I suppose Halloween has become more about adults than children these day. We were talking about that just Yesterday. It is a day where people are coming more and more st!pid.

Some people are, or maybe the internet just gives them an excuse to act that way.

Someone must have walked on their bridge. Trip trap, trip trap. I do not know why people enjoy being trolls, or why they like vandalizing things, or why people bully people. I have a hard enough time understanding myself when I start acting nasty. Keep up the good work, moderating those trolls. I have not been online enough today to know if there are any trolls out and about on the sites that I frequent.

I’ve never been on Birejji...Trolls and annoying idiots could be anywhere I guess…I don’t know if Halloween has all much to do with the trolls coming out to play...It does seem that there is a period when they are out and about and then they seem to go and hide for a while. They are pests and should be exterminated! The ones who spam and spam have nothing on their mind but making quick cash and they are probably not making any more than the rest of us who are hopefully less annoying...

Never understood why people think that trolling is fun. Apart from housework I have just put out candy in case the kids come out tonight. Just in case, the weather is now very overcast and rain is imminent. There are so many sickos out there. Sad innit it?

It's gorgeous here, so the feared rain hasn't emerged. Hooray!
