Great article. Make you think about our own behaviour. I did hade some (limited) success with trolls a few times but never went “friend” them or invite them to any of my place.
I think you really are helping him. Just by listening. No need for advice, just listen. Thats what a lot of peoples need, to talk.

Your article was one of the most enjoyable ones I’ve read in this magazine.
Good luck to you and your friend.

Nice article Monkee. It is good to always give people the benefit of a doubt, even when they act out. I think the problem is many people don’t have the luxury of time to deal with people like this, they have limited time on Home and just can’t be bothered to spend it doing what you did. Granny has had some good results with trolls too. I rarely hang in public areas anymore, but I think the new ignore capabilities will stop many trolls right in their tracks now because they will look foolish.

I’m glad this time it worked out. I tried the same thing and I would get invite requests and they would show up where I was. No way am I saying don’t trust a troll, but I have found the not so good ones. Plus I’ve tried to keep my friend list to people my own age. I use home to be an adult, but there are a few kids I have on my friends list and they all call me their “PS Home mom”. Nice article loved reading this.
