Ronnie, much my own thoughts. Carrie could be anyone. Did you know there are these people who like to stir things up, maybe even in a group to which they belong or for which they have ownership. A person who does this kind of thing can be anyone. The absolute best thing is to ignore them. This Carrie person did not seem real to me, no one with any kind of "fetching up" would say the things she did, even posing as another person. I can't help but think there is some underlying reason why this went down like it did..... >From: markyivan@webtv.net >Reply-To: KYJOHNSO-L@rootsweb.com >To: KYJOHNSO-L@rootsweb.com >Subject: Hesitant to, but about Trolls >Date: Sun, 12 Dec 1999 12:43:44 -0500 (EST) > >List, there was a lot of time, energy and >frustration in regard to this Carrie person and >I can't help wonder if you are aware that >some people will do what we just observed >and see what they can stir up on a newsgroup >or message board.
