Hello and welcome to the first Interwebs University lecture where we teach you about the wonders and dangers of the interwebs. I am your professor for this lecture. Now, sit down and listen, or read.
The topic of choice today is: Trolls and their behaviors.
What is a troll you ask? A troll is a person on the interwebs, who instead of contributing in anyway what so ever, decide to only hurt and annoy people. Trolls mainly lurk in: chatrooms, forums or bulletin boards. We at the Interwebs University, captured a troll and put it in a specially made troll habitat. With this new sample we made many discoveries about trolls and their weaknesses.
We discovered that trolls mainly feed on junk food and the negative emotions they cuase. Trolls have little intellengence and poor grammar. Their native language is 1337 (which translates into leet) speak or the replacement of letters with numbers or symbols. Some trolls are weak and easy to bend, but most trolls are stubborn and unrelenting in their constant attacks to hurt you.
Trolls have a few easy to exploit weaknesses. Theses weaknesses include: cheesy one liners, strong counter attacks, the horrible miss use of internet memes, ignorance, blocking systems and powerfull interweb authorities.
Our most interesting discoveries were the troll headquarters, Encyclodepedia dramatica and their god/idol, the troll face. We would show you a picture of the troll face, but it's just too horrible to show the masses.
Stubborn trolls are difficult to deal with if the site your in does not have any authorities. When dealing with a troll remember that ignorance is bliss. The troll will find you an inadequet food source and leave.
Wow! Wasn't looking at the space limit. Any way, I hope you enjoyed this lecture and feel prepared for any troll attacks. Now go and have a good day.
Professor Vinsackzo, out.
You can join the Interwebs university! Just comment to get an invite!
Well, you can only get trolled if you're gullible and/or stupid enough to fall for it and feed it..
+1 because it is a pretty good blog, not an over-done subject and probably better than my lazy-self could do xD Not ALL trolls are like that, but it would have to be, like, 5x as long to cover everything adequately.
I love encyclopedia dramatica.. it always made me laugh, even when it was making fun of my favourite things.. shame it got taken down, but nothing could stop it, naturally, and it's up again. Uncyclopedia or whatever it's called is good too.
Eh, I'm semi-offended. You left out us Trolls who actually HAVE good grammar and spelling abilities, and who usually mock another person relentlessly until they give in.
