Re: Trolls

In Response To: Trolls ()

: DNFTT "Do not feed the
: trolls"

: "An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet
: slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory,
: irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as
: an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of
: provoking other users into an emotional response[1] or to
: generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.[2]"

: Yep . . . that's a positive identification.

: 'A monster in the Munchkin card game is named the Net Troll. It
: is described as having "no special powers, and is really
: mad about it."'

: Yep . . . that's our guy.

: This thread sort of reminds me of a miscreant who walked into
: a bar and tried to pick a fight.

: What he didn't know was the bar was filled with disciples of a
: Asian martial arts disipline.

: This disipline required its followers to pledge an oath of
: non-violence

: . . . . . . . . . . . . . and to maintain a diet of nothing but
: beans.

: The fellow trying to pick a fight couldn't get anybody to do
: anything except fart on him, softly

: -- kind of like our troll.
