Sorry, but this lame is so past it's sell by date I just couldn't let it go
by without comment.

Since there has been so much interest in trolling and what it is and ins't
these days here's a bit of a primer for those interested in the subject.
Any post slyly left to bait an unwitting fjukkwit is technically a troll.
So, just about everybody who has ever posted on usenet has trolled at one
time or another in whatever modest way. This is a good thing sometimes.
Nothing like geting sucked into a trap to wake you up.
However a schoolyard taunt is just lame and hardly worthy of the title
"troll" and so tarnishes the noble tradition.
having said that, lames are OK if they're multi-leveled and/or serve to
illuminate another aspect of the discussion.
Or if they're funny, of course.


I don't think he meant it as a troll. It was just the best he could
think of.
