    Can you forward this to that *kitten* munch named “Benny_haha” that has been annoying as hell today?

    I do believe he is EXHIBIT A.

    The actual "accidentally obnoxious person who is so unbelievable irritating as to effectuate a troll" is in fact, not a troll.

    For instance, a user with some sort of brain damage that routinely asks the same questions again and again while always discarding the advice she was provided would NOT be considered a troll (even if very pretty.) She is merely an unfortunate individual.

    Wait. So I'm NOT a troll, I'm unfortunately pretty and effeminate? I'm so confused. Is this because I'm short? 'Cause that's racist.

    Excuse me young lady! One of my dearest friends is Lilliputian!

    How do we know if we're trolling? What if we're just obnoxious and don't know the difference?

    Excellent question, Ms . . . Ms . . . Garcia? No matter.

    The actual "accidentally obnoxious person who is so unbelievable irritating as to effectuate a troll" is in fact, not a troll.

    For instance, a user with some sort of brain damage that routinely asks the same questions again and again while always discarding the advice she was provided would NOT be considered a troll (even if very pretty.) She is merely an unfortunate individual.


    Or "he", ha-ha no need to provoke the wrath of my women's studies students, amirite?
    so should I lift heavy and eat at deficit? and log my food?



    No. You should ride the elliptical for 2+ hours a day, while guesstimating what you're eating. Logging is for pansies.

    Ah-hah young lady, don't think you can troll the troll. The correct answer is no. It will get you a C. You will pass, but it will bring down your grade point average.

    If you are willing to put forth even a little more effort you can absolutely earn an A+ in this class in much the same way you're willing to earn that C.

    Ladies and Gentlemen! Please, please quiet down. Please. Yes, yes very funny.

    While I am certain that none of you appreciate Mother's interruption, it does make for an excellent case study in what we might call "the reverse troll".

    This however falls into the category of Negative Effective Trolling, and I'll thank you Mother not to derail the lecture.

    Potato.

    Potatoes are white, so they're bad.

    Am I doing it right?

    Ladies and Gentlemen,

    Please take your seats. Shh. Please, quiet down. This is your own time you're wasting. Ahem.

    Thank you.

    Ladies and Gentlemen,

    Today in Trolling 101, we are going to cover a specific subset of "effective trolling."

    First let us also briefly recapitulate ineffective trolling. While this has many subsets, the principle commonality is that the troll becomes the trolled - - the troll will eventually resort to extremely rudimentary insults, logical fallacies, and display an ever-diminishing appetite for conflict evidenced by an ever-increasing volume of progressively simpler retorts. This always, inevitably, results in abandonment of the troll.



    ...Okay, at the risk of finding myself labeled as an ineffective troll I have to ask...
    Exactly what is it that an ineffective troll does in order to find his or herself wearing such a label? I can see the effects of taking such actions listed here and they sound truly horrendous? But what did the troll do to arrive at such a state? How could it have been avoided? And is there any way back once a toll steps onto that slide?

    Professor? What about instances where you are called a troll for stating a fact that the first party disagrees with based on ignorance of the subject matter?

    Is it possible to troll using the truth?

    I had a teacher in the ninth grade who thought I was pretty.

    Maybe a little too much.

    I was 14 and even then knew the power of the long troll.

    That would be against the code of ethics, page 17.

    The truth is indeed the troll's most potent weapon. TAKE! for instance, caffeine. This harmless chemical, in typically-occurring quantities, is a harmless stimulant. But in substantial quantities, it is in fact toxic! What better a way to arouse both lols and false concern than by creating a thread about this silent killer?

    On the other hand, if you are simply wielding the bona fide truth in an antagonistic manner, you are not in fact a troll, but are rather better described as a 'jerk' or 'prick' or any other number of terms.

    EXCEPT FOR BULLY.

    That is in a future lecture.

    MISTER Madre! If you were here in class last week instead of out practicing your craft (against class regulations, I'd like to remind you,) you would've known that we already covered ineffective trolling. Perhaps one of your classmates cares to help you overcome your lapse. I, young man, do not.

    Ahh yes, the long troll. It was very bold of you to execute this in such a situation. A troll must always leave for an effective exit strategy. The imbalance of power is too great; it is like trolling a moderator. As soon as the 'jig is up', you face expulsion/permaban.
