OMG, I am feeling the urge to out a Troll
Edited on Sun Oct-30-05 02:26 PM by ck4829
I know it is bad on DU, but I want to do it soooo bad.

How does everybody else cope with it when they see someone they know is a Troll, but can't scream "Troll! Troll!"?

2. I just watch everyone else bait It, and It usually outs Itself.

3. pmail the link to others and ask that they come watch
the fun. Then I just continue posting logical posts with the troll and eventually their head explodes. :freak:

10. Deal!
We certainly should alert each other to the location of the entertainment :popcorn: :beer:


I'm making progress. I think that I fixed a leak in the roof yesterday. We'll see if I was right the next time there is a heavy rain.

5. The worst are trolls who have been around for a while, and know JUST
how far they can push things... and not get tombstoned. It drives me crazy!

31. Moving on to the next real DUer post works pretty well.
Can you imagine how boring it is to be a troll? In all this wonderfulness, to have to be a spoiler? Pathetic when you think about it.

27. When I was very new, I posted a grumpy thread about
John Kerry. Omigod, I was called out but good for about an hour.

Initiation, I suppose. DU can be very fiercely protective.

I wouldn't cross it. :)

28. When I was new...
I posted here in the lounge about buying a DVD at Wal-Mart. OMG I could feel the hate. Freeper was about the nicest name I was called, before the mods arrived. Then last week someone had a thread locked about pizza. I was ever so grateful to the person who PMed me why that one was locked.

32. Remember to be gentle with this guy. Let him do the screaming.
I really don't want to get any well meaning DU'ers in any trouble.
