  • well said,its meant to be  enjoyable and where like minded people come  together and I guess sometimes we get carried a way.We  all like to think we are right but often we are wrong.keep smiling.image

  • I always find that in work if I leave some of my emails a few mintues before I press send and then go back and reread them, I often change the wording. The immediacy of the digital medium can sometimes trip us up!

    I can answer sock puppet-it is a troll who uses two identities to argue with himself to get more people involved in his nuisances

    or her obviously.

    I do live in Belgium which has its share of heroes like Obelix - eg Ambiorix from what is now Tongeren and who had dealings with Julius Caesar - but my name comes from my love of clematis on obelisks with a kiss added. 

    A sock puppet is someone who creates 2 identities on a forum so they can talk to each other, usually to stir trouble.

  • Thank you for the information, I am learning so much more than gardening on this forum.image I will watch out for sock puppets, are they easy to recognise? In late 60s or was it early 70s, I used to collect trolls, they were very popular.
