You obviously have, what was the outcome?

Your not keeping up, we managed to get rid of the conservative MP! that's
not to say the new incumbent won't be a liar and incompetent to boot.

Not sure that the following applies to me, although it does look like fun
:-)

"The object of recreational trolling is to sit back and laugh at all those
gullible idiots that will believe *anything*. "

I don't wish to get personal (or wishing to be a troll) but since you
raised the question, where does that put you Ian :-) ?

It does seem rather nonsensical preaching to the converted. I have written
to my MP, I do badger people, but slagging things off doesn't get the job
done or raise the level of debate. We all have different opinions but
consider my comments and then look back through the thread. Who else has
offered physical help to move things along?

Off topic
You really do live and learn (then die and forget it all)! I'd never heard
of trolling before (in this context) and thought it really amusing to find
a site devoted to it :-)
