troLLtroLL's Journal: trolling for better trolls

The ./ has its share of trolls, but how many of them are good trools? Simply bashing this race, or pokine run at a ./ or Linux celeb does not in and of itself make a good trool. Simply spewing a lot of porn does not in and of itself does not make a good trool.

Now there is nothing wrong with poking at ./ or Linux celebs. There is nothing wrong with a using pron or other things that make treak a sundy/Fundy. But when it is done, it has to be done with style and gyle. It has to be done in such a way as to make people believe that you are serious. It has to be done in such a way as to compel somebody to want to fight back.

Over the next few weeks I hope to troll the trolls ... prasing good ones and ranking the poor ones down in the book of trools

"

what is a "trool"?"

A trool is a mis-spelling designed to cause an idiot to want to reply. Think of that mis-spelling as a meta-troll. :-)

Also:

"

Enjoy the new 2 post per day limit once you get underway!"

A good troll will use up their welcome slowly with cleaver postings designed to dup idiots into responding. Any idiot can post to the point where they are limited. A good troll will pick up a number idiot replies as they go along.

Oh, and regarding the warning. I do not plan to troll directly. I plan to only pick out 1 or 2 troll postings to comment on every few days ... or when I feel like it. I won't / don't care if I am limited to 2 postings per day.

A good troll does not hide behind the anonymous coward mask, BTW!
