Public Service Announcement - Trolling!
Oct. 24th, 2009 04:53 amY'all know that I sometimes venture out into the internet for the purpose of finding people whose heads are as yet un-messed-with and fixing that for them. And it occurs to me that while I am not even the best person that I know at starting shit and insulting people, manipulating the context of a conversation to trip up a participant, or turning someone's words against them, I may be the only person I know doing so on the internet in a non-/b/ forum. Or possibly the only one who admits to it. Which is sad.
Where is the love, you guys? Where is our pride in what we do, and our willingness to share what we do? I say it starts here.
Baiting people to step out from behind their disinterest is a good thing! Anger shows us what is important to us, so I'm trying to compose the how-to on trolling, insulting people, and the fundamentals of what bothers people and gets under their skins. Also because the better we know how to deliberately annoy people, the better we know how to avoid being annoying when we choose not to be.
