In praise of trolls

“With all the troll bashing lately, thought I'd present a contrary view.

I love trolls. Couldn't spend much time on the innernet without 'em. They are the consummate class clowns, the standup comics, the jesters and satarists, who make cyberspace forums interesting.

Admit it FREAKS, you come back to TT again and again for the Trolls.”

“YES I love RAD, how many times do I have to say it!??”

“Most people posting here are trolls. If they weren't, most of the discussions would probably be about backpacking and related stuff rather than controversial subjects.

This is just an observation and not an opinion pro or con for staying on topic.”

“shut up ya troll.”

“Trollin' trollin' trollin'
Keep them threads a rollin'
Trollin' trollin' trollin'
Troll Ride!

Rile em' up
Start a thread!
Piss em' off!
Troll Ride!

(sung to Rawhide)”

“I'm in my apprenticeship for full trolldom.”

“Is this a confession steve?”

“And to think, Steve, I went to the matt to save your butt on this site, and you go saying you are a troll? Did I waste my time and energy?”

“No, I've never trolled on TT.”

“Thank Goodness!!!”

“I could never match the pros on this site.”

“Didn't we have a thread about who was the trollest of the trolls? With all of the new spew-meisters around, maybe we should hire Tea to take a poll.”

“Thanks Steve!
We love you too.”

“3 Cheers for all of us "Jester's and Satanists."

Beer is Bad. Car camping is good. Spock is the lonely voice of reason.”

“Oh shute! Steve said "satarists" not "satanists."

(But hey, "satire" comes from "satyr..." and satyrs are horny devils.)

Osama Bin Ladin has soft sweet and wise brown eyes. He is my kind of fellow.”

“What? Do you mock spock
A troll who utters strong talk?
Stuff it in your sock!”

“
"Praise me!"”

“I forgot Halloween is right around the corner, thanks for the scary imagines!!!

Chilling isn't she!!!!”

“Dunadan -

See "Vote for your favorite TROLL".”

“Don't ya love em?”

“If purple-faced, teeth-gnashing rage is your idea of love then, yes.”

“Don't trolls live under bridges and have a penchant for eating billy goats?

What's not to love about someone who lives under a bridge? It's forbidden hobo love! he he”

“I don't understand for sure what trolling is. Would this be an example?
Go to the Geocaching site forum and submit the following fabrication. "I heard on good authority that cops are using the I-found-it-logs to find suspects to interrogate for missing and vandalized caches."”

“LOL. Even better would be to anounce that you are compiling information from the "I found it log" and other logs to notify the appropriate authorities and demand that trespassing charges be pressed against all involved whenever applicable.”
