Looking at the sorry state of trolltalk and the sheer stupidity of the more vocal "trolls" of today, it's easy to think that /. trolling is dead. Through this very special episode of TrollBack, we hope to prove that, like rock and roll and *BSD, trolling is here to stay. For your enjoyment, here are twenty top-notch tidbits for your viewing pleasure:

YHBT

2002/09/29 - Some cock whines about Harvard not letting him get his precious illegal software off Kazaa, and gets some well-deserved flames in return.
2002/09/26 - sllort shows how to keep an idiot in suspense with his "deleted comments" trick. You can do it too, using the form at the bottom of the discussion creation page. Despite being a known bug, no steps seem to have been taken to fix it yet.
2002/09/25 - courtesy of Professor Collins, Xiph.org's very own Monty posts the mother of all bullet point bites. Half the Slashbot audience gets in line to suck his dick.
2002/09/16 - The aforementioned michael threadslap ensues, in the same pattern we have come to know and love. cetan sees fit to blow all his karma. Way to fight the power!
2002/09/11 - Page-lengthening returns for a brief shining moment during the anniversary of our Nation's darkest hour.
