Was McMum a ‘troll’?
McMum’s contributions to this thread were entirely uncontroversial, relevant and on-topic before the arrival of the Colonel.
She did not bait any of the other posters to the thread, or disrupt normal on-topic discussion in any way before the arrival of the Colonel.
Conclusion: McMum was not a ‘troll’.
Is The Colonel a ‘troll’?
The Colonel’s opening posts in the thread accused regular posters of not seeking medical advice concerning their children’s wetting problems, without any evidence that this was the case, thus baiting other posters. Even when McMum stated that she had sought medical advice, the Colonel escalated his baiting by saying that she was not a good mother because she had sought advice from the NHS rather than from the private sector, again without bothering to find out if this was true or not.
The Colonel set out to disrupt normal on-topic discussion, even boasting about it:-
Quote:
“I love the way I destroyed this thread, now I can move onto the one in the health section!”
and:-
Quote:
As soon as I'm in control of this thread!
You didn't actually think I was sane did you?
The Colonel wasn’t satisfied until he had driven most of the genuine posters away and disrupted the thread to such an extent that normal on-topic discussion was impossible, resulting in admin moving it to the Stupid Posts.
This is not the only thread that the Colonel has set out to disrupt in this way.
Conclusion: The Colonel satisfies all the criteria for being a ‘troll’.
To put it in the childish terminology so loved by the Colonel:-

It's because you can't answer with a straight, clear, truthful answer.
I've asked you many difficult questions and I've never received a reply.
Well, I have asked the Colonel the same questions concerning his activities on THIS forum over and over again, and I have yet to receive “a straight, clear truthful answer” from him. The term hypocrisy comes to mind.
There is now an overwhelming body of evidence to show that the Colonel is:-
A proven (and admitted) liar.
A proven bully.
A proven purveyor of libellous material.
A proven TROLL.
A proven hypocrit.
If that was not enough, the Colonel’s last few posts say more about him than I could ever say. His manic behaviour perhaps goes a long way towards explaining his lies, bullying, libel, trolling and hypocrisy.
To any normal sane person visiting this thread, it must now be obvious that the Colonel is also stark raving mad. So I think we can now add one more to the list and state that the Colonel is also:-
A proven (and admitted) madman.

So true, so true!
Also, for the rest, this is Stupid Posts.
All my replies must be stupid. So I can lie, libel or be a hypocrite.
