With all the trolls we're dealing with on this site these days, I thought it would be fun to share our experiences with trolls, laugh about them, canonise them. Please try not to talk about this site because I don't want the moderators to object to this thread.
Back on the Edmonton punk message board indecline.net, we had some great trolls. The best, who actually almost brought the board down, was named Howie. Everyone hated him, but the moderators were unwilling to moderate or ban him because "that wouldn't be punk."
Well, after months the administrator contacted me and asked me to take care of it. He hacked the guy's account and reset the password. The idea was I was going to secretly replace Howie and run his troll legacy into the ground. I did and had a great time.
After a couple days, the real Howie saw what happened, so he started a new account and posted a big long message about how the administrators had stolen his password and hijacked his username (true). I as Howie posted "Do you really expect us to believe that? Nice try, squirt." Then the administrator hacked the new account and gave it to me. With Howie II I posted "Yeah, I thought it would be funny. Sorry." Everyone was confused.
After that, Howie couldn't register again and say "I'm the real Howie" because nobody would believe him. Case closed.
So share with us your troll stories, and how you dealt with them. I have a lot more. |

He would be hostile at every turn. Not sending threats like confuzed, but turning every potentially interesting discussion into a flame war. |

I'm sore from belly laughing. I copied that whole rant of his so I can use it if someone pisses me off. I'm not sure if he really is a troll tho, I think he was genuinely angry. Hilarious |

Very amusing. I'm pretty sure he was a troll. At least one of the respondents was a possible troll too. I love a good troll! 
And I loved this line:

I liked to think of myself as a Troll buster back in the day of my first debut on the forum, kinda like an anti-Troll. The anti-troll uses trollish ways however.
You all can have a go at me and I'll anti-troll you, if you think that that is so sexy.  |

I think a troll can be someone who is genuinely mentally unwell. Likely most trolls (and most Internet addicts) have Asperger's Syndrome.
Anyway, if you scroll down, you can read some wonderful things about cyclotouriste. We don't know his real name, but we know he goes by "John Gobin Shaw." We also know that he was an ESL teacher in Korea for a few years (surprise!). And we know that he was aware of 9/11 before it happened. Scroll down more and you can read his manuscript, Discovery 9-1-1. |

| Just do a text search on that page for "Gobin." It's all been posted there. |

Am I a Troll? Sometimes I help people and sometimes I annoy them. Where is a Troll in the Confucion system? Is it lower or higher than a teacher?
I'd hate to think I was spending my weekends being anything less than a teacher (weekends are a time when we are supposed to live out our fantasies about who we want to be on the weekdays).
I thought I was an internationally recognized rock star? |
