Regarding the recent inundation of Troll posts to rctq. The damage can be minimized easily if everyone keeps calm. Here are some useful tips:
Do not read any messages posted from addresses you don't recognize.
Do not open any links from Tiny URL or other link services like it, even if you do recognize the address of the poster because addresses are being hijacked.
It might be a good idea to not post links to your quilting pictures online if you can avoid it. Most of us know how to get to the rctq picture links page that Kay made for us, so we could just write something like "Go see my new picture by clicking on the (insert your name her) link at the rctq quilt photos link site." This would let us know you have something new without us fearing to go look at it.
Do not reply to any Troll so they will get bored and go to find easier hunting grounds elsewhere. Replying to Trolls is feeding them useful info for future attacks as well as entertaining them. You may as well invite them to your home, sit them in front of the TV, and feed them chocolate, and none of us wants a troll making a chocolaty mess in our sewing areas so not feeding them is best.
If you feel like you do need to reply to a troll, write the reply and then hold it for 24 hours before hitting the send button. Once you have calmed down you will be glad that you didn't hit send and feed the troll after all.
Basically, ignore the bad stuff and post as much quilty conversation as you can and they will get bored and leave whenever they realize no one is going to be upset by their childish antics. Debra in VA See my quilts at
