That's nothing, these guys are shooting hoops with a goddamed football (soccer ball). https://www.youtube.com/wat…

To borrow a line from Charlie Brooker, these guys make me want to kill everyone in the world, starting with them, and ending with me.

Hey man, don't hate the banjo, hate the song.

The only defence against a 400 pound hacker is to dispatch an 800 pound Gorilla to crush him to death.

Like the ones in congress, amirite?

Business Park.

Got any more thoughts about inexperienced pre-teens exploring new possibilities? Or is that enough creepy for today?

Haha, nice try buddy.

Thanks for this - there was so much wrong with that speech it was hard to know where to begin, so I'm glad someone's done it for me. It was very jarring to hear a British person say 'pantyhose' - one could argue that she was adjusting her terminology to accommodate her audience, but in this context that would…

Yeah I'd work on that more. Lizardy Clinton maybe. Lizardry Clinton?

Would you be willing to meet me in person? I think you might be The One.

No.

Fine. But I'm making the specific point that trolls are shitty people because of what it is they set out to do, regardless of its effectiveness or lack thereof. The fact that other people may be equally shitty goes without saying. The OP is defending trolling as a legitmate pasttime like record collecting or golf. I…

We're not talking about being nice to people in order to benefit society. We're talking about being nice to people to in order benefit the people we are being nice to. It comes from having a basic sense of decency, clearly a completely baffling concept to you.

Again, I'm not talking about charity or making the world a better place. I'm talking about practising basic politeness in the course of everyday social relations. I'm talking about not actively going around making the world a worse place. That's what trolling is, unlike fantasy football. This idea that trolling is a…

I'm not mocking you, I'm engaging you in debate using all the rhetorical devices at my disposal, including irony. It's standard practice really.

I think physical violence is different because it's a natural, primal urge that can be worked out through all kinds of sports and games, in which the other participants have agreed to be part of that game. Trolling depends on finding people who ideally don't even know the troll is toying with them and making them feel…

I actually completely agree with you. I think the term 'troll' is used far too generally and should be reserved for people who say things that are calculated to offend as an end in itself, and not for people sharing unpopular opinions or being insensitive about how they express themselves

Great, so morals and ethics do not exist at all, there is nothing but the individual and the Triumph of the Will. The strong survive and the weak die and that is as it should be, as we are better off without them. Maybe we should just purge them - the old, the frail, the weak. Looking after them only holds us back.…

Gerald isn't real, so he's not good evidence for your point. You're just an apologist for poor behaviour. We live in a society, and we have a moral imperative to behave well towards one another wherever possible. If you want to indulge in such a hobby, go right ahead. You are well within your rights, but you have…
