Tbh I never trolled, at least not intentionally, but can't say I didn't try making satires for the occasional II bandwagon I was tired of seeing threads jumping on...

Alright, I can see that there is a difference between that and posting "KILL ALL THE JEWS;" this discussion must get more granular it would seem.

What I have a problem with is fakeposting. It's rampant on SA and I wish I had a knuckle sandwich for every person who does it. "Modest Proposal"-esque trolling is difficult to do well, and those that cannot do it well I wish would get a horrible disk-frying virus on their machines.

Arnt they all hiding out on your hard drive?

I find myself hesitant to attempt creating what could be my Opus magnum of LULZ. Because there are just too many ways a RP or story packing simultaneously space elves, motorcycle Jedis ^_^, Twilight and Underworld emo/fail vampires, Furries werewolves, generic half-whatever or "plain normal but awsum" Mary and Gary Sues, Not so hideous(?) furries butthurt Kitsunes and wanked MT navies and air forces spamming missiles could go unintentionally wrong.

Vegetarians are so easy to troll.

Hmm. To my knowledge, all the vegetarians are in the US, so really, Mindset, I'm not sure how you'd know that, being an Englishman and all.

I'm not English!

Never mistaken a scot for an englishmen....

By the way Mindset, I'm irish/scottish ancestory myself.

I'm anglo not too far back myself.

I may be an octoroon.
