    Acknowledgement of troll. Statement of opposition.

    Not very subtle insult directed at questionable parentage.

    • Re: (Score:3, Funny)

      Wild distortion of parent's religious beliefs in order to bring them into line with Scientology.

      Gratuitous comparison of parent with less-developed members of the primate family.

      Superfluous double sig.

        Intentionally ignorant application of Godwin's Law applied to Scientology to discredit you. LOTS OF YELLING. Suggestion that commenting on your parentage in relation to less-developed primates is offensive to even the simplest of those kind. Statement about putting on the asbestos suit in witless attempt at humor.

      Deliberately mis-interpret troll and riposte, and counter with a humorous retort.

        Reverse subject/object order of retort, prepend "In Soviet Russia"

          Assertion about the Zionist influence on events.
          Secondary assertion that the topic is a distraction perpetrated to obscure Zionist actions.

          1. feisty piste?
          2. In Soviet Russia, Beowulf clusters of Old Koreans confirm that Netcraft is dead!
          3. I for one welcome the insensitive clod overlords. Who run Linux of course.
          4. Won't Natalie Portman please think of Sebastian?
          5. ????
          6. Profit!

          I think that is about most of it. Or maybe not. 3/2 liters of high-grade, 5.1% Carlsberg might just have a tiny litte bit to do with this.....
  • ... respond as violent opposition with thorough use of swearing.
    • by eno2001 ( 527078 )
      Sides with swearing participant stating that proper use of profanity requires a great mind. Contribute to profanity in volumes assaulting everyone who has so far disagreed with me. (Secretly hit The Best Page in the Universe [xmission.com] for more creative use of swearing, hoping no one will figure it out)
    • Take a meaningless statistic (such as number of posts to a technology discussion website) and distort it to insinuate that you have no life, while ignoring the fact that you have a successful career and a beautiful family. Make derogatory comments and behave childishly, then when you retort, SlashBitchSlap you.
      • Blow up and retort insult, again using various profanities. Threaten your very life from the comfort of my office. Bring up rumors of your sexuality from the past which I just made up.
        • Insist that you must live in your parents' basement since you have OVER 1000 comments. Compare our genitalia in a way unflattering to you and glorifying my magnificent member. Make obscure references to fornicating with every adult female member of your family.
          • Insult your lack of HTML skills, then compare your tirade to something Hitler said in WWII.

              • Reference to irrelevant article on logic on Wikipedia.
                • reference to livejournal page as 'blog,' reference to 'webcommunity' and 'netizens,'

                  prediction of coming cyberrevolution and glorious new order of technological utopia

                  stage left entrance of completely unrelated eco-conspiracy theories
                  • Quotation of selected parts of parent post.

                    Agreement and reference to the current post-columbine strife of the geek, mention of 9/11 and how it relates to the open source movement as poster sees it.

                    Two paragraph rant on the technological challenges posed by ever accelerating innovation.

                    Cheesy closing question on the average mans ability to keep up.

                    Mention of published books and how a movie is also coming out shortly.
            • Link to website that I couldn't possibly have designed as "proof" that I have "1337 skillz". Put up straw men, while accusing you of necrophilia bestiality.
  • Lengthy outline of all failings of your position. Lengthy outline on superiority of my position. Subtle ad-hominems at your expense scattered throughout. Summary of arguments cementing my status as the victor of the exchange. Silent aknowledgement that it was all a joke.
    • Stream-of-though response riddled with ALL CAPS to EMPHASIZE things I think you MISSED[1] because you are an $INSULT.

      [1] - Annoying self-superior use of footnotes.

      • Quote your mispeeling or improper gramer with a comment riddled with incorectly spelled words. Insult your inteligence.
        • Response including the phrase "grammar Yahtzee".

          "Yahtzee" to avoid invocation of corrupted Godwin's Law at my expense.

          Cheers,

  • Complete agreement due to the fact that I'm gullible and didn't even notice the troll.
    • by eno2001 ( 527078 )
      Superfluous comments on your ignorance to further enhance my ego. Suggestion that perhaps you shouldn't even be on Slashdot. Departure to next battle of word and wit feeling artificially victorious.

          Mornington Crescent!
          • I'm sorry, the rules committee has stated that, according to the 1937 Additional Compendium for the Lesser Barking Mad (quoted by Stovold), calling "Mornington Crescent" when you are not, in fact, in Mornington Crescent whilst not having first proceeded through Aldwych shall result in the caller being penalized by being placed in Stockport for the next 637 turns.

        Scurrilous invective regarding inappropriate relations with siblings and distaff. Acknowledgement of GP as reasonably accurate vis as vis your strawmen.

        Grant permission to mod this post down, claims of earnestness and sincerity.

        • by eno2001 ( 527078 )
          Accusations that your "earnest sincerity" is mere Karma Whoring and that mods alleviate the problem by modding you into oblivion. Suggestion that should said moderation not take place that the mods are abusing an illegal substance purchased on the streets.
          • Untoward comparison of parent's behavior to that of a Slashdot editor.

            Clever insertion of the number 503 into the conversation.

  • woooo! *turbns up volume*

      wait, 'meta'?

    Sorry, i thought it said metal. *sigh*
  • Red_Foreman?
    • Look, I've just about hobbit with being ringed by these tolkien attempts at humor.

      • by Otter ( 3800 )
        Pedantic correction from page 562 of The Silmarillion. Analogy to copyright holder who makes item poster would rather steal than buy.
        • Insistence on correctness of original post, obliquely and obtusely referring to fanfic production as canon. Quotes from obscure original notes of Tolkien taken out of context to support case.

          Whining that parent is forcing conversation off-topic.

  • this comment says something tangentially related to the original troll that was not touched upon by the other comments, but doesn't actually appear in this JE until the middle of next week when no one is reading it anymore.
    • Arrives after the thread can no longer be commented on. Shakes fist at universe and says, "Damn thee! I had the perfect retort to the ravings of these lunatics"! Heads for kuro5hin.org in disgust.
  • random trolls don't just appear on their own
    • Pointing out that trolls do actually appear on their own by spontaneous constipation of I-kid-you-not-stones. Slänger in lite svenska för att irritera de övriga. Ending with generic insults and sweeping generalizations.
  • Comment removed based on user account deletion
  • Display of ignorance.
  • Abandons all logic and begins posting looooooooong posts about photos of Natalie Portman in a distressed state, very hot breakfast cereals being admitted to one's pants, questions about various activities compared to sex with a beast of equine persuasion, etc... In the hopes that the noise will overcome what little signal there is and thereby deflate the whole thread as others lose interest.
    • Faux jaded "You're new here, aren't you" remark.

      Cheers,

      • Missing the joke, engages in meaningless comparison of relative size of Slashdot ID. Ending with mock "Oh, nevermind" as cover-up when missed joke finally sinks in.
  • Copy of article to which troll comment was attached with key words and phrases edited to contain sexual inuendo.
  • Badly spelled rant.

    Gratuitous use of the suffix -ist!
  • "Bridge"

    "Billy-goat gruff"

    -MT.
