Trolls!

[kelmo]

Why do trolls do it?
I believe that most trolls are sad people, living their lonely lives vicariously through those they see as strong and successful.

Disrupting a stable newsgroup gives the illusion of power, just as for a few, stalking a strong person allows them to think they are strong, too.

For trolls, any response is 'recognition'; they are unable to distinguish between irritation and admiration; their ego grows directly in proportion to the response, regardless of the form or content of that response.

Trolls, rather surprisingly, dispute this, claiming that it's a game or joke; this merely confirms the diagnosis; how sad do you have to be to find such mind-numbingly trivial timewasting to be funny?

Remember that trolls are cowards; they'll usually post just enough to get an argument going, then sit back and count the responses (Yes, that's what they do!).

...Does this mean I shouldn't reply here?

He got you on that one, Kelmo...

 

[kelmo]

*chuckles* yeah. I counted it anyway.

 

[Tiberius]

*trolls*

 

[Skylark SP]

Pfftt, all right Kelmo...you and Vortex may take ONE piece of chocolate from the box of Godiva I offered to Petra, but that is all you get.

Also, some here may find it amusing to know that I got my one and only forum ban ever, on the Blizzrard hosted WoW forums for referring to my troll character (my main char), which I always post on there, as a cooperative troll in a reply to someone...they don't get RP there much.

LOL, and they say we are Nazis here?

 

[kelmo]

Nazi... pffft. I prefer posting etiquette czar.

Maybe they meant you are not zees.

You hit the nail right on the head with this one, Kelmo! Wow.

LOL


Damnit, another keyboard loses the coffee battle.

 

[Wulf2k]

*Anti-stalker-sheild=Activate*

Luckily the hidden cameras were already inside before activation.

 

[Kat]

LOL

LOL Sorry! If it'll make you feel any better, I'll trade you for one with sticky Dr Pepper keys!

 

[kelmo]

*chuckles* I wish I had written that I found it somewhere and thought it very appropriate...

 

[Ole Cheapy]

You just dont realize how very proud I am of you, Wulf. You have successfully used the quote feature properly! *golf clap*

I bet they're sticky but i doubt seriously if it's from doctor pepper.

 

[Wulf2k]

You're just jealous that I'm a bad boy rebel that doesn't live by anybody's rules but my own.

Now go conform to your conformity you conforming conformist!

=]

 

[Kat]

LOL Hey, now! I'll have you know that my keyboard drinks almost as much Dr Pepper as I do!

*Anti-stalker-sheild=Activate*

HEY!

( This must be some sort of challenge! I'm sure there are plenty of unsecured riches to be had! )

 

[Kat]

HEY!

( This must be some sort of challenge! I'm sure there are plenty of unsecured riches to be had! )

You, sir, may stalk me anytime. I like your style.

 

[Troop]

Purple shoes on a Troll FTW!

 

[Fanta(Siege)]

Purple shoes on a Troll FTW!

I do believe thats a smurf

 

[T'Challa]

Your bait failed.

 

[HaHa]

LOL Sorry! If it'll make you feel any better, I'll trade you for one with sticky Dr Pepper keys!

Hm, ill use that as an excuse from now on when someone asks about my sticky keyboard. "Its Dr Pepper dude! What else could it be!?"

 

[AEowynSP]

 

[Kat]

I love this thread!

*snickers*

 

[kelmo]

It has proven to be true, eh?

 

[Kat]

Yessir... And I'm surprised your pole didn't break!

 

[AEowynSP]

Troll legs! Or at least ankles.

 

[Troll The T Hunter]

why drag my name into this?

 

[kelmo]

*chuckles*

 

[kelmo]

Here is a link to one of the articles I found in my research.

http://www.flayme.com/troll/

As for the sock puppets... I found that in my troll research. Yes. Some of you qualify as sock puppets.

 

[kelmo]

Oh yeah... and this.

I read through most of the link. I saw nothing on sock puppets. Wheres the link for sock puppets?

 

[kelmo]

*smiles*

 

[Kat]

Hmmm... This part caught my eye...

When Should You Be Concerned?

Usually, no, though fractured funny bones and occasional waves of nausea have been reported.
When a troll become persistent and personal, you may need to consider the possibility that it has fermented into an Internet Stalker - equally pathetic, if not more so - but sometimes requiring weedkiller

*Anti-troll/stalker-sheild=Activate+weedkiller=Activate*

I'm hoping this code might actually work someday! Four+ years is entirely too long to put up with an internet stalker.

 

[kelmo]

*nods* It was enlightening.

 

[Roland']

I think he stole alot of material off some work done on the socially inept, then added the word trolls. The parts that I thought were just meant to be humorious, much like what Kat posted were prolly his own.

But it works.

 

[Wulf2k]

Four+ years is entirely too long to put up with an internet stalker.

I think anything less than four years and you should just feel inadequate.

I mean, if you can't even keep a stalker over the long term, what chance would a normal healthy relationship have? =]

*laughs* What a long strange trip it has been.

Okay, now I'm scared. That almost makes sense!

 

[kelmo]

Kat is being stalked. Others have been too. It ends now.

 

[Kat]

He's pretty persistent. After 4 years, I'll believe it when I see it!

 

[Wulf2k]

Kat, PM me with a summary of what's going on if you feel like it, first I've heard.

Or just ignore me if it's none of my damn business =]

 

[Skylark SP]

Reporting Kelmo for bringing WoW into the discussion!

What a Long Strange Trip It's Been

Also, Wulf...I don't think Kat was taking applications for additional stalkers.

P.S.

 

[Weed Ninja]

LOL, and they say we are Nazis here?

Not they, YOU...

 

[Wulf2k]

Pfft, I was totally stalking her before it was the cool thing to do.

Unfortunately I'm lazy, so I'd pretty much just stalk myself until she came by.

 

[T'Challa]

Kelmo and Kat simply need better bait

 

[Mr X]

Kelmo and Kat simply need better bait

Are you a master baiter?
