There are family members on both sides of our family who have gone to their graves holding grudges. Sad.

You're right, they will just go and set up another page. Our school's PTA had trouble with one and so did Daughter 2's boyfriend's band. Ignoring them is the best thing to do but I've read that these trolls have ruined businesses. I've got to read more on that but I have to wonder if that's how they make money? They're planted by competitors??? Some people are just nasty.

That is one thing I like about DISQUS comment system. Most all the time they find the problem comment before me.<br />Lately, on FB there has been quite a number of fake user pages. I've been asked 3 or 4 times to become "friends" with Sheryl Crow on FB. I figured it out because I'm cautious. I did learn that celebrities have "verified" page. There's a checkmark in a little blue circle on the REAL pages. If you "hover your mouse" over it - it says verified page. Just this week an adult daughter of ours got a FB message from a friend who she doesn't interact much with. She thought it was odd and a few steps into the messaging the "friend" started to ask for help from her. She reported it to FB. Problem with these attacks is after FB shuts one page down, the hackers just launch another fake one.Bill Lislemanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15187273560129198423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6972594215868664060.post-38548227818563529372016-07-27T20:06:15.694-04:002016-07-27T20:06:15.694-04:00Teaching technology to 700 elementary students has...Teaching technology to 700 elementary students has helped me learn a lot!

Make hurtful comments and then try to come across as "just trying to help". I saw right through it so I stopped being friends. It wasn't just me she did this to. When I see that...DONE!
