I find I'm spending more time trying to figure out what the heck people are talking about with all the abbreviations.
Shorthand texting is for teenagers.

What are "sock puppets and trolls"? Probably here somewhere but I don't feel like reading the entire thread. Thanks.


A "sock puppet" is somebody who post her opinion, and then posts again (and maybe again) to say she agrees with the previous post - which was her own opinion. She's making it look like others think she's reasonable, even if she's nuts (and I don't just mean the sock puppeting). It can be hard to identify "sock puppets" on an anonymous forum, but sometimes it's obvious from similar typing or grammatical errors, or speech tics.

A "troll" is somebody who just likes to push buttons and get everybody upset. The best strategy is to step around them, like a pile of dog doo, but sometimes I can't resist telling them they are idiots.

See the list of acronyms at UK site http://www.mumsnet.com/info/acronyms. I would love to add YABU (you are being unreasonable) to our site as it's one I could imagine being used over and over again.
