Subject: About "emma."
In reply to: Snorkle 's message, "New kid wants to know who Emma is. Someone do tell, and Winner were not here for you to take out your anger. And don't call us "You people" you make us sound like we're from space." on Tue, Nov 11 2003, 17:12:47

"emma" dropped in a few months back with a subject line like "hey there peeps" or something. The message text was something along the lines of "This author wrote a bad review for my story. Her stories suck. Everybody flame her!" Of course "emma's" post was riddled with netspeak and grammatical/spelling errors (way more than you'd expect in a quickie post to a public forum like this one), which only served to ding our "troll" alarms all the more.

Well, people looked at the fic "emma" linked to, and while the story wasn't stellar, it wasn't flameworthy either. Besides, most of us had pretty much pegged "emma" as a troll before we even followed the link. She managed to garner a few flames herself. She eventually apologized.

Just another saga in the GAFF Book of Lore. :P

Another saga? I wonder who's writing the book? The mysterious heavens above or some guy with Word Pad named Bob who's lurked in on this place for years. I have a special little mind. *very special* (NT) -- Snorkle, Tue, Nov 11 2003, 18:07:17
