There's some kind of saying you see a lot on forums about trolls.
Something to do with putting the trolls on a diet or restricting their carbohydate intake or something.
Anyone happen to know exactly what that saying is?

I saw this...
An Internet troll; or ;Forum Troll; or ;Message Board Troll; is a person who posts outrageous message to bait people to answer. Forum Troll delights in sowing discord on the forums. A troll is someone who inspires flaming rhetoric, someone who is purposely provoking and pulling people into flaming discussion. Flaming discussions usually end with name calling and a flame war. no mention of carbohydrate intake though. |

I think I may have seen an overfed troll around these parts.
No bright light? Don't let them get wet? Nah, that's gremlins. I feel sure there's an important thing forum users are often advised to keep in mind regarding trolls and food. _____________________

or my fave....
So here's to you, wrongfully dubbed Forum Trolls! I for one am happy that you tirelessly jump from posting to posting, forgoing the selfish task of writing or creating anything of your own, not tarrying to give thorough or constructive feedback, pummeling any who fail to write to your lofty and holy standards of technical perfection. _____________________

I have never put a single person on ignore. Like you, I graze over those that troll. Some can't though. That is what a troll banks on. _____________________

(to the tune of "Rawhide"
 Trollin' trollin' trollin' Keeps drama threads a rollin' and feeds the need that screams "look at meee..." Arguments, fact or fiction, is their choice of diction, Often falling to plain ambiguityyyy.... They'll ruin any good thread, Collapsing it on their own head, In their effort to seem to have authority... Flame a thread, edit a post, argue a fact, be an ass, Flame a thread, be an ass, Trollin'!! Be an ass, Flame a thread, ruin a point, insult everyone, Be an ass, Flame a thread... Trollinnnn!! Flame a thread Trollinnnn!! Flame a thread Trolllllinnnnnn!!! Trolling!! _____________________
