Iv’e had Trolls in the past, Some of them really really nasty and threatening, The worst ones came from when I made a simple comment about a cartoon on Youtube. I am an adult and I was watching an old Bugs Bunny cartoon for a laugh as I hadn’t seen it since I was a child. These trolls followed me around and hounded for months and months and It got worse and worse. Then I realised that these were just words on a computer screen. These were just sad pathetic idiots with nothing better to do than make or try and make other people’s life a misery. NOBODY can do that without your consent. Just ignore them. Don’t respond to them. They will get bored and go away. My trolls did. If their messages appear anywhere don’t read them delete them and when you keep deleting their messages of hate you delete their interest and power over you. You are FAR FAR better then them and always will be. REMEMBER THAT. xxxx

I wish to respectfully point out, that it is just as easy to create a new email address, as it is to create a new avatar. Even a new IPO addo is relatively simple – if you’re into that sort of thing.
Creating a pseudo persona – male or female – on the web, is easy. Maintaining it requires an ability to not only change the character but the writing style of the person. Many very intelligent people can create a new image but little idiosyncrasies in their writing style betray them to a discerning reader.
Just an observation ! Puedes pintar el zorrillo pero aún le apestan!
Considering the usual corner-cutting laziness of the quality of the art in here, I’m surprised Andy and Flo aren’t tossing their darts at a blue blob…….Could anybody find Eldo’s old mashup of a Don Martin cartoon of a “huge fat freak” with Flo’s face and Andy tossing darts at her…….well, you get the idea!
@ Prof’s Hubbie. You have compelled me to return to writing in the comments. Usually I prefer to remain silent and just enjoy reading the strip, anecdotes, pics and clicking on links.In the last 4 years I don’t recall seeing anyone picking on you unless provoked. I decided to speak up because it appears you are beginning to convince other members that you are a victim and that just isn’t true.Although you ARE a victim of yourself.Does anybody know where Number Six is??? I miss him and he should be made aware of what’s being said during his absence.
@Number ThreeI know that the Christmas Season is (almost!) over, of course, but could I please book “Thank Ya Very Much”, from the Albert Finney musical version of “A Christmas Carol”? Kind of a favorite and my nieces and nephews also like it (well, I did kind of “make” them, lol)

Remember the old childhood saying -
“Sticks and stones may break my bonesbut names (or words) will never hurt me.”
Be strong!
On another note, I’m no good at darts but at least I do hit the dart board.

In the Andy Capp DVD, Flo was a Darts Champion!
Don’t believe me? Buy the DVD and see for yourself. It’s the episode “The Sporting Life”
