Troll basics

The recent publicity about Reddit’s Violentacrez by gawker brought a lot of attention to trolls. However, there are small scale trolls that will never make the news, but still manage to make some online forums less pleasant.

Posting bigoted comments is an easy way to troll.  In this example, the troll started a thread asking if "Jewish Broads Smell Bad."


Coming from a troll with the online screen name pronounced Nazi, this post is a classic example of how to provoke a response.

In this case, the troll succeeded and a forum member called him on his bullshit.  The troll only became more provocative, and pulled out his gun as a response.

One of my favorite things.



And the Sisters of Babylon, dressed in red, were singing for his soul...





As a followup, the troll added in some anti-Semitic jokes.

Have you whacked it yet Mike?

They are all whacked JR. They call them Jew Whackers.

I think there are some fifties songs about them. Jew-wacka-wacka... You may be familiar with them.
