Has anyone else noticed **Ramira** taking a slap at America every chance she gets? Here’s her latest one. [QUOTE=Ramira] What? The buying of physical gold and the off-site storage defeats no point - unless you are doing so from the strange american paranoid political point of view, but that is not the fundmaental reason to buy the gold assets.

Apparently I’ve become thoroughly jaded. New poster + first post is a sob story guaranteed to provoke sympathy, outrage, and controversy = possible troll. I won’t respond, but I know others will.

Troll. What you just described (join date, first post, emotional topic and/or TMI about personal matters) is a troll in such a large majority of cases that it isn’t jaded to assume so, just realistic. People don’t usually create accounts on small general interest message boards to start a thread about something personal as their first interaction with the board. Far more often they would sign up because they wanted to reply to a post in an existing thread. Then after getting a feel for the place they might start creating their own threads. And then, only after having a lot of interaction with the other posters here would they create their own thread about something really personal because they genuinely wanted to know what other posters thought. Maybe it is jaded realism… but I’d consider any brand new poster who creates a thread on a personal or inflammatory subject to be a troll until a lot of future posts prove otherwise. ---

Upon reflection, I judge it to be a nicely crafted little story (other than the lack of white space). It was even posted in the correct forum. A newbie would’ve put it in General Questions. The story evokes emotional support for the O.P., but leaves plenty of room for blaming the victim. The ending resorts to the overused appeal of naive bewilderment: Am I wrong to feel angry? Do I have the right to feel betrayed? Help me, I have absolutely no idea what to do. I’m also deducting a few points for user name (Vanilla Ice). Overall, I give it a B-. ---
