Just found this image online, and I was thinking that scarily, more of us on this forum seem to be trolls that we'd first thought:

Flooding by Excessive Posting
GBL, thats you right there that is

Attempting to Divide and Conquer
Well thats Freddie isnt it?

Trying to Impress Others with their Knowledge
hmmm... Phoenix, BM, Freddie, Trip, UCM, me (probably), to name but a few.

Disguising their Headers
I'm sure we've all posted a header thats deceptive to the contents of the thread at some point. Know I have.

Making themselves the saviour of the group
We've all been the saviour at some point, when someones in trouble, and our insight's solved the problem.

Posting under Many Aliases
Thats you BM.

****

We're all just a big bunch of trolls.

whats wrong with posting replies n stuff, at least its not some inane ****, and am trying to help people.

 

nothing. Just saying that by the troll criteria on the pic, we're mostly all trolls.

 

actually, I missed some people. for divide & conquer, Trip and BM are culprits too. Just for posting threads that cause great debate.

Its a conspiracy. we're aw doomed! doomed i tells ya!

 

What do I fall under then? I'm guessing number three...

 

hmmm. Im not sure Zeb. you do have a fair bit of knowledge to try and impress with.

On the plus side, I dont think any of us are guilty of the worst on that list: Threatening people; spreading rumours (except maybe the occasional rumour about new tech, etc - but i dont think thats what they mean).

 

So Ferg, is this a troll or what?

oh bugger, that means I fed ya - NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

YUM YUM.

 

hmm, your stereotypical IT Tech I presume. No wonder I can't get anybody to employ me - need to get uglier

 

huh? How so?

 

nah, you just need someone to teach you to gurn

 

you used to be BrainBeaconMike correct?

 

Yeah, he has a new incarnation every time he changes jobs. He also used to be TranscenderMichael. I like this last incarnation the best as I can just call him BM. It fits right into my perverse, punny, sense of humor....

As to me, I don't see how I'm trying to divide and conquer.

I'm not the devious sort. If you see something from me it's because that's what I think. I'm pretty much wysiwyg through and through, and a troll is anything but wysiwyg. They are about deception and deliberately enraging people people just for their own perverse pleasure.

 

A name change in no way makes me a "troll". What they're meaning is someone who actively posts under multiple aliases. I use only one at a time, mate.

Yeah, I know it's all in the sake of humor... but...

 

Sounds like a good time to post a link to the Flame Warriors.

I believe troll is meant to be used as in "trolling for fish" however, not the mythical creature that lives under bridges.

Hey Fergal you missed one off the list!

Taking out of their ASS
Well that's you Fergal down to a T! LOL

 

I thought that was how everyone talked!

 

Wow. Never seen the flame warriors site before. Loved some of the descriptions.

 

How the hell did I miss this thead? To anwser your question zeb. I belive you would fall under hostile take overs. Now please excuse me while I run for cover!
