Best troll I've seen in a while. Suffering from ads?



I admit that I don't have the energy, desire, or free time to come up with a troll like this but my hat is still off to the man. This was artfully executed and a real treat to read.

Now, that is a good example of the benefits to having the posts numbered here in Apolyton.

Another good troll, this time at the IMDB in regards to an unmade Tarantino Film: How Much Will He Steal This Time?. It's been over a year since the thread was started, there are 1,261 replies and it's still going strong!

quote:
SEE how biohazard effortlessly distracts himself from his own points when he sees they have been well-and-truly torn apart!

MARVEL at his ability to talk at great length without ever actually saying anything of worth at all!

YAWN IN INDIFFERENCE as he repeatedly calls people he knows nothing about names!

FEEL MILDLY CONFUSED when he leaps from one comment to a wholly unrelated comment, under the full impression he is making any sense!

SIT PATIENTLY as he disappears for a few days to think about his next 'witty' and
'spontaneous' retort!

Good thread!

I'm quoting this here not because it is particularly funny, but just for the looks how the Apolyton censor would deal with it...

I dare you to come to me and interfere with what I am doing face to face. **** you you goddamn poltroon, yellow bellied son of a whore.

**** YOU. DELETE MY POST YOU ****ING COWARDS

FROM NOW ON THIS IS THE ONLY KIND OF ANSWER YOU WILL BE GETTING FROM ME.

**** YOU YOU GODDAMN NO GOOD LIARS. COME ON CHICKENSHITS. INTERFERE WITH ME FACE TO FACE YOU GODDAMN COWARDS.

YOU ASK FOR LOCATIONS BECAUSE WHEN YOU START SOMETHING WITH SOMEONE YOU MAKE SURE YOU ARE AT A DISTANCE. YOU DAMN SURE BETTER STAY AT A DISTANCE TOO YOU NO GOOD SONS OF WHORES.
I AM FED UP TO HERE WITH NO GOOD BASTARDS LIKE YOU ALL. **** OFF. ERASE MY POST. YOU HAD BETTER DO IT OR ELSE YOU HAD BETTER STEER CLEAR OF ME FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIFE TOO.

Yes, old HARDMAN was truly the man.

The sad thing about that OP link is people are still posting and taking this serious after it has already been explained that it was all a troll.

If the other posts in that thread are to be believed, he has posted similar threads of many other messageboards. He's consistant at least...

That was the point! Just like throwing out the part about looking for a hot cycling partnet. The object is to get normal people to go "damn this guy is a freak let me write him to tell him he's being strange" then they flame the hell out of him and start the thread rolls on to new heights. That's what most people call a troll.

I think the trick is more to get people arguing amongst themselves and just step back from it.

I think I can speak with some authority on the subject
