Oh me-oh-me-oh, my-oh… I’ve had my fair share of troll bullshit this week. I suppose I should have expected it; but, truthfully I was a little shocked at the sheer volume of sputum that was shitflinged my way by two individuals.
Two people who know me IRL who were pretending to be… uh, let’s see: Ben-Turd-Tom and Bonnie-Kat-Anna Moss.
If that’s not the text book case of pathetically crazy and someone w/too much time on their hands, I don’t know what is.
Enough about me (oh shut it.) Let’s talk about troll behavior for a mom’ – shall we?
The comment of the troll known as Ted Fredricksson on the post below this got me thinking about typical troll rhetoric.
You see, trolls – while occasionally amusing – as a whole – are not that bright. They are pack creatures; meaning, that one individual troll is unlikely to be able to think for themselves and come up with original sick burns.
There are, of course, exceptions to this rule – but, they’re rare.
Trolls rely upon anonymity. Truthfully, if any of them met you IRL they’d never say to your face the kind of jackass shit they do to you so willingly online. I was prepared to prove this theory during the OKStupid bullshit. I actually volunteered to stand outside the Berkeley Library on an appointed date and time wearing a sign that said “I’m Adorkable Grrl” and allow any Internet weirdo who had the cahones to say to my face what they’d said about me online.
Not surprisingly the offer was not accepted. Because to say shit to a real person – to their face – requires a level of honesty and bravery that the typical troll just doesn’t have. It’s far easier to say shit anonymously to an avatar or icon than it is to a breathing human being.
I digress… Read the rest of this entry »
