Does anyone else see the irony here?

[Jeff Chandler]

No. It’s a boring article. Lame, in fact.

[Olog-hai]

So much irony, I might actually need a phlebotomy.

RE : “A troll’s sole purpose in life is to comment about an article, statement, question in a forum or other Internet venue so that comment will upset the target person or persons to the point where they are yelling at their computer and punching the monitor. The upset person will even go so far as to Google search the user name “wizardslayer7” to see if somehow there is an address associated with it”

LOL

Not really. I generally stick with My hero Harry Dresden's advice about Trolls:

They hang out under bridges. Keep aware of them and what they attempt, and you can survive.

Of course a handy staff and (sorry, Harry) Gibb's Rule Number Nine couldn't hurt either. *grin*

With some yogurt now and then of course... (hat tip Michael Weston).

[Vendome]

Pound sand.

I’d say that to you in person.

There isn’t anything I say here I won’t say in person.

The victims of these trolls are upset the rest of the day. They are driving aggressively on the roads, yelling at their co-workers and being consumed with a way to find out who that person on the Internet was.

With rent around these parts, no one gets to live in my head rent-free.

I wonder how many of Duh-1's "created jobs" would evaporate if all the little OWS-ers and ACORNS out there no longer got paid to disrupt Conservative discourse.

You trolls can still keep your precious usernames like halochamp34 and doritoskiller709, but it will be tied to your official email, the one and only email you can have. No more fictional emails and no more hiding behind the Internet. If you want to make public comments and be in the public domain of the Internet, then you should be brave enough to show your actual face.

Bad idea, obviously. But I can think of a variant that would be useful.

Private entity version would allow you to certify a username and tie it to your real name and picture. This would allow people the choice of going online as themselves or anonymously.

Those who choose anonymous mode would presumably have their credibility reduced accordingly, which I think is entirely appropriate.

[Impy]

Someone should make bacon out of that Nazi pig.

Really, he wrote this anonymously? A joke? Brilliant if so.

I noticed a lot of news articles are using facebook for comments now, most people use their real name for that. I have no intention of ever getting one.

You tube also frequently asks me if I want to change my account to my real name, annoying.

Here’s irony for you (humor): http://www.jim-butcher.com/books/dresden/side-jobs/restoration

RE :”The most essential part of trolling is convincing your victim that either a) you truly believe in what you are saying, no matter how outrageous, or b) give your victim malicious instructions under the guise of help. “

Yep, I could cite user names too HAHA

It goes like :
”You must have just come from DU because your comments are so stupid. So let me give you some friendly Helpful advice so.... (wink wink you don't get replies like this from jerks like me anymore)“

See??? They are just trying to be helpful.

My reply?

“ Friendly Helpful Advice?? What are you Dear ... Abby??”

Then there's the unfriendly freepmails LOL

[Hardraade]

I’m pretty sure anonymous cops already are illegal.

[jmacusa]

Yup. If it were any louder I’d be deaf.

[sickoflibs]

Love this post thread :)

[wastedyears]

But trolling is fun, especially involving video games.

[PoloSec]

Should the Tango be illegal?

[Maceman]

I just found the most retarded thread in existence.

“Does anyone else see the irony here?”

Libs see anonymous posting as the ultimate threat to their complete control of media; they own the networks outright, but can’t stop people from reporting the situation “on the ground” via internet posts.

Under the guise of everything from fighting terrorism to stopping cyber-bullying, they are doing their damnedest to eliminate such posting. The day they succeed is the last time a Republican wins a statewide office anywhere.

[GladesGuru]

When I want the opinion of a member of a population selected by rigorous testing to exclude the upper end of the IQ bell curve, then and only then, might I solicit the opinion of the Trolling LEO who allegedly posted this socialist whine.

[Conspiracy Guy]

The author is a real whiner. Probably soils his or her nickers daily.
