Yeah, some people just have too much time on their hands and you'll see a lot of trolling in the forums, to the point where a lot of folks are just suspicious when someone comes on with a question that is poorly worded and seems to have a lot of contradictory info in it and, when they receive some advice that they claimed to have wanted, they turn defensive and claim they're being persecuted.

Usually the troll gets banned, but sometimes some forum regulars get banned too for heated responses, which is a shame, and most likely the troll's main goal.

I almost hope the OP is a troll just because then there aren't any kittens to worry about.

Interesting, because in my experience I've never seen anyone become defensive opon receipt of advice they actually requested-far more likely to be the case owing to unsolicited advice! Obviously a wide range of responses fall within this criteria!

Surely, though if people perceive a troll is behind the post the wisest thing to do is not react in the first place? Think it's best to regard all posts as genuine since logically we have no means of proving otherwise, focusing instead on the wefare of the animal concerned.
