This is a Troll [meta-thread]

[jdavis]

Insist that people are just using my off topic rant to go off topic, admonish them for not sticking to the topic, even though it is long lost to the mysteries of time. Insist that it's "betta with fetta" and that Pepper Jack is not a pirate name.

Thinks that some people are confusing monkeys with chimps, and that getting funky like a monkey is not always a good thing.

Accuse everyone who is thinking about replying to my off topic discussion as missing the point and going off topic in a attempt to get away from how right I really am on the subject of the thread, whatever that was.

Insult people who have never posted to this thread just in case I miss them posting later Agree with everybody who argees with all that I agree with and disagree with those who disagree with what I disagree with, attack those who disagree with my agreements.

Six pages and three weeks after it started, I post to a thread I let slip past me the first time, but I add some comment that I take time to make well-phrased and cogent. Everyone else will completely ignore it, because no one cares about the original point or about my comments about it.

I go back, reread, and correct typos. I invariably miss one or tow.

I then click "submit reply" and forget to turn off the Email Notification, so my inbox will be filled for days to come with reminders to check a thread I've already said my piece about, and have no intention of returning to.

general comments about certain posters who just **can't** let things go.

Insults Hong, for no apparent reason other than Hong's an easy target (ooi!)

Makes some comment that had everything to do with personal life, and nothing to do with the thread...

Or monkeys...OR cheese.

Notes that the moderators have ignored this thread, and probably will continue to do so until it hits 9 pages or so, and feels it is the duty of all us to speed this along.

Thinks that "Wot¢" is pretty funny.

 

[Bagpuss]

Gets disappointed that the thread hasn't been closed by a moderator, since a real troll would have by now.

This is apparently a master troll, much more powerful than a normal troll.

 

[Guilt Puppy]

Posts a reply clearly showing that I have not read most of the thread, including the previous person who has not read much of the thread. Read the first page very closely to get both sides of the argument, then go off about some third side of the argument I invent, all while switching person and tense. Sits back expecting to be lauded as a prophet for my insight and perspective.

This is apparently a master troll, much more powerful than a normal troll.

Iconic even...?

 

[Burne]

As a latecomer to the thread, I post a brilliant, but slightly mispelled, argument that totally vindicates and illuminates some previous poster's words. Sadly, said poster was last seen on page 2, and I failed to quote any of the post in question.

Shortly, thereafter I post an angry tirade about how no one respects my views, which are clearly better than your views. At this time I also modify my Sig to subtly mock whomever is reading this right now.


Look ma, I'm a troll too!

 

[Robbert Raets]

Inform jdavis that pepper was quite valueable during the golden age (of sail).

Question the parentage of whoever opened this snake basket (once again).

Commend Burne for reading Terry Pratchett (the writer of DiscWorld, for the unenlightened among you).

Point #1 is a myth, Tolkien was both a overrated children's author and a drinker of Ginger Ale; Point #2 Timothy Dalton is the best Bond (drow or not), and should get the lifetime achievement Oscar this year; Point #3 All editions of AD&D should be thrown away in the trash as they are Satanic; Point #4 Gilligan only wanted to do Mrs. Howell, he never acted on that impulse, leaving her to the Professor.

Goes on to use a hypthetical example with characters and a situation from Seasong's current Story Hour, being careful to mess up the facts from the story. Tells MerricB to get used to American spelling, that it is the language of the future. Thanks baradtgnome for the enlightenment, saying that it made a profound difference in my life.

Silver Moon logs back into this thread, and is bothered that nobody latched onto any of the trolls-within-a-troll. Is very surprised that Seasong, MerricB, and baradtgnome did not respond either.

Decides to give everyone a second chance, but logs in under wife's EN World account to make it less obvious. Under the alias states that 1) Nobody reads Tolkien anymore; 2) Timothy Dalton would have made a better Spiderman than Toby Maguire; 3) D&D is Satanic, as are most RPG's, the exception being Call of Cthulhu, which should be played at elementary schools; 4) Mrs. Howell and the Skipper were clearly lovers.

Makes a final comment about Eric's Grandma being hospitalized after a monkey attack for refusing to share her cheese with them.
