It’s that time again, Cache Valley bloggers! Cache Valley Illuminati is gathering for lunch tomorrow at The Owl at noon!
You’re welcome to join us.
FYI: Cache Valley Illuminati is just a silly name we made up for a group of bloggers that live in our area that like to get together for lunch and talk about geeky things like stats and trolls. We hope to eventually get a bloggity button made and I totally think we should have shirts made that say CVI:Logan. Hee!
Stumble it!

We have a Facebook group, too, which makes us official.
WHAT?
See, this would be the time where I am PRETTY sure you’re pulling my leg, but I am the QUEEN of GULLIBLE.
What’s a troll? Is it like a lurker? Am I a troll? Oh god… where is the blog etiquette book? I hate trying to make friends in the virtual world… panic attack.
(dramatized for effect)
But, seriously, what’s a troll?
NO. You are NO troll. And pray god you never EVER have one.
Wikipedia says it best: A troll is someone who posts controversial messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum, with the intention of baiting other users into an emotional response.
They are EVIL and they suck. I have had many and it is why I require first time IP address comments to be held in moderation. It’s a good thing, too because one day there were over 80 from the same person in my que.
I don’t put up with crap anymore. I used to let people “Have their say” on my site, but not anymore.
People can totally disagree with me, but any foulness, and the comment is deleted and I often block the ip from my site.
I have around 70 that are on the list currently. (I will say that a few of those stem from an ex-husband of a friend of mine.)
The best thing to do with trolls is to ignore them, but I have a hard time doing that. Many people do.
Seriously, though…It makes it worse when you engage. I have learned that the hard way.
Kerflophas a great sign on her comments section:”Don’t Feed the Trolls” it means if you see someone being an ass in her comments section, PLEASE ignore them and don’t feed the fire.
(It’s cute, no?)
Sorry for the long rant, but TROLLS SUCK ASS.
I’m not lying.
Great.
This is almost as bad as being in high school and not getting invited to the prom.
(Except that I no longer have frizzy double-processed hair and weigh over 200 lbs. I still say “Rad”, though.)
WHERE IS IT???????????
DUDE!
THERE’S EVEN A LOGO!
Nobody tells me anything.
:(
Whew. I do love Kerflop’s little sign, but I didn’t know what it meant. Now it’s even cuter!
Does sound aggravating- thanks for the info!!
I just saw the facebook group. Apparently I am the president – how is that, I didn’t even know it existed! Oh, and I’m excited about tomorrow, I’ve never been to the owl.
man…i wish we had a bloggers group here. wait…maybe there is one that i don’t know about. maybe i didn’t get invited to taht prom! actually if i want an english version i probably already know everyone involved and it wouldn’t be that exciting. trust me.
Danielle:
No problem
MacKenzie:
Hail to the Chief, baby!
Natalie:
What, no wild and crazy English speaking expats over in Turkey? (It’s a shame really…The Wild Turkey’s would have been such a fabulous name, too!) Hee
No fair!!! The Owl? Oh man. Ok, have a big dog of Blue Moon for me, ok? Fine, I know you don’t drink, but maybe someone else could? And man, their chili is good! Ooh, and the pasta salad! Too bad it isn’t deck weather, nothing like a grilled veggie burger up on the deck. That is one of the places I miss the most from Cache Valley! Have a great time.
I have to work that day. Sorry…it always seems to work out that way…I actually dont work that many hours a week..
