I was reading an article about new penalties for internet trolls yesterday and it made me wonder if Fester was still getting grief from his troll?

That'd be interesting to know. Certainly the law is taking a much firmer line with these people.

I was reading an article about new penalties for internet trolls yesterday and it made me wonder if Fester was still getting grief from his troll?

I didn't think I was, because my email and website filter out and block any dodgy looking email addresses, IP addresses or suchlike.   Similar there are great security filters on my business Facebook page that prevent any nonsense.   
But, when prompted by a customer, I looked in my junk mail folder and found probably in excess of 150 emails from him.  I scanned a few, realised it was the same old tripe.
However it amazes me just how much of his sad life he has spent obsessing over me, and the vast amount of time and physical effort he has taken to create these messages, just for them to get auto deleted or never even seen by me.
I would estimate that maybe 2 months of his wretched life has been wasted on this.  At the end of his life, this is time he ain't getting back.
It's probably a lot more, but I don't know how much gets auto deleted do I?

What's also amazing is how he genuinely believes that anything he says or gets upset about has any effect whatsoever on anything that I do or say!   :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

So, Fester;  any closer to discovering the identity of this unpleasant bit of  human flotsam?

Ha ha, good description Ian.
Yes indeed, I know exactly who he is, and I have done for many months.
When I was previously busy workwise, he was too insignificant for me to bother dealing with.
I have a bit more time now though.  Hmmm.

I wonder if he knows just who he's abusing...

You know who the troll is?! Was it difficult for you to work out his identity?

I'm sure you know too Dave,  if you recall, you saw him as an irrelevance.
Nothing to be concerned about.
The thing is, going by recent stuff in my junk folder, he doesn't KNOW that I know!  😂😂

I still can't see any point in what these people do? So many more worthwhile things to spend your time on!

Just need to add: volunteer as a lyncher not a lynchee.
