Most websites attract your garden-variety trolls, but the Ship seems to get a certain percentage of true high-end trolls. Any idiot can post something like "Americans are morons because they can't spell 'Theatre'," but it takes someone really special to ask "What is it about evangelicals that makes them apostate?"
What are your all-time favorite troll bait posts? Extra points if it's been seen here on the Ship.
Double extra points if you go post it somewhere. ![[Snigger]](graemlins/snigger.gif)

Because my father's a minister, I've always gotten a kick out of Gunner. My favorites were his asking for advice on how to get his teenage sons to sit through his sermons and asking anyone if there were any good books on how to preach. All in dyslexic English. He is certainly my favorite. In terms of actually teaching me something about lunatic Christians, EL18 and the Chick tracts were a real education. I can't believe I never ran across Chick before. It's exactly the kind of thing they would have handed out in my church.
As a related tangent, for screaming, flaming entertainment my vote goes to the jounalist who practically swallowed her tongue demanding apologies from Laura for tossing off Mad Medic's statistics on abortions leading to breast cancer. I have never seen anyone go so thermonuclearly ape-shit in my life for that long a period of time. She just nuked and nuked Laura and Erin with phrases like 'Stalinist repression' for a solid week. She lectured Laura on legal issues and Erin on proper site administration. Is there a worse way to pick your battles here? I snorted a lot of coffee through my nose reading those posts. God I wish I had saved them. I'd also like a full dossier on her family of origin.
Hey, how 'bout a Nightmare Board with threads like that and NickA on the Pope as Anti-Christ?

Brojees' posts were rather fun, and in such peculiar English. He was either a 'real' eccentric or a very entertaining sock puppet.

I don't think Brojess was a troll, his posting style was such that it came across to me as from someone who was talking, not trolling. YMMV.
I find myself horribly fascinated with the super-troll Erin told us about, "Joanne," (sp?) (directly causing the enactment of many of the Ship's troll policies) in much the same way someone who sees flattened trailer houses on tv half-way wishes they could experience a tornado first-hand: "Was it really that bad? What was it like?"
Barring that, I think Alcuin takes the small round biscuit when he went postal on us after lecturing us with several sanctimonious posts on the superiority of his New Age outlook.

For my money, Ms Byronic( the shrieking London lawyer previously mentioned)and Paddy Leahy ran neck and neck. The horrid thing about those two were that they were dead-set nutters with big axes to grind rather than true trolls.And those were only the Roman subspecies....

Brojees was real, I'm sure, and I take a large portion of the credit for running him off. If I'm not mistaken his last thread was on the subject of a study that claimed more people left 'conservative' churches for 'more liberal ones' rather than the reverse. In true Brojees fashion he dragged out his "could it be..." rhetoric. "Could it be, that as light as the yoke of Christ is, it is still too heavy for some?" It went downhill fast from there and he eventually quit talking. He posted a couple news items after that, but he was soon gone.
I think he tried really hard to move toward tolerance, but he just didn't have the maturity to spend time in the company of people who strongly disagreed with him, or who did not appreciate his dramatics. God I remember his introduction on a War thread where he posted stanza after stanza of youthful pacifist rhetoric and drew withering broadsides from Erin. Poor guy was expecting applause from legions of adoring Christian fans and instead he got a bunch of boos from people holding their noses.

You mean Ms Byronic on page 8 of the Anglicans/Abortion thread - look at that, it's still in Purgatory. Save it quick. Though there is some of the discussion with Erin on p9 of that thread, you might also like the hosts and abortion debate thread in Styx.

Crosspost. The reason why I remember her being a journalist was that before she knew that Laura was a lawyer, she got all high and mighty that as a journalist she should damn well know what libel was because she had been thoroughly briefed! I remember thinking, "Yeah, probably she got a briefing every day from her lawyer saying, 'Oh my God, you have got to tone that down or we are going to get sued for sure!'" She still didn't back off the lecturing on libel after she knew Laura was a lawyer. The killer was that the "libel" was Laura saying something like, "Nice try, but no dice. Looks like people on your side of the argument play as fast and loose with the facts as you say the other side does." Matt essentially said, "Yeah I was just slipping it in as a sidelight off the main topic" but Byronic went ballistic. Slander! Lies! Impugning the character of individuals who merely pass along *facts* in the public interest! Retract or I'll sue! Go ahead and ban me, you Stalinist repressors! Ack! Ark! Cough spit sputter.
It was great fun.

re: Brojees. I don't think he was a troll, just somewhat surprised at the nature of the Ship - he simply didn't fit in. There have been others who've had an equally interesting introduction to the Ship and have found a way to stay around and contribute, Brojees just couldn't manage it and decided to simply walk away.
Though I still can't forget that he called me biased. Me, biased? That drew Erins attention. The irony is that my position in the discussion (potential war in Iraq) was far closer to his than the people he was berating!

Blazepascal. Remind me, is he the one who kept logging on under a new ID and then posting the kind of anti-Palestinian rhetoric which would have warmed the heart of the late Meir Kahane?
My personal favourite was the chap who stoutly maintained that David Icke might have had a point about the New World Order, including the lizards. Although a dishonourable mention must go to Eleighteen. "Chick tracts get read". They do indeed, accompanied by a feeling of appalled fascination by anyone with an IQ above 60.
At the risk of sounding incredibly sucky, it is a testament to the work of the hosts and admins that this place is as sane as it is given a) the number of loonies in cyberspace and b) the tendency of said loonies to gravitate to certain issues and c) the fact that said loonies have way too much time on their hands.

JimT,

The Greatest Troll Ever is widely regarded as t his one. This particular one had a lifespan of over a year, attracted thousands of responses and even managed to get someone expelled from school.
It has to be said: if you want to plumb the depths of human ignorance, spite and anger then you can't do much better than USENET. Nothing else comes close.

Actually, I think duchess' sig is one of the best innocent pieces of trollery around at the moment:
quote:
"Faith and religion are two different animals, but there are sincere people of faith involved in religion, just as there are insincere religious people who claim faith, but Christ dosent have space for a doctrine of hate. " - Priest SoF May 9, 2003
(You are my fave Calvinist babe, duchess honest, I just think you have bad taste in sigs)
I dunno the context, but when I read that, I read: "What I ('Priest') do is Faith, what you do is Religion. I will concede that even in the Anti-Christ's maze of Religion (which is anything that isn't My kind of religion in case you're wondering) there are some (misguided) people of Faith. Just as there are some insincere religious people who claim faith. Notice I've been hazy about the proportionate distribution? That's 'cos anyone in Your Religion without My kind of Faith is one of the insincere religious people who 'claim' faith. But I'm not actually going to come out and say that. Oh and. Christ doesn't have space for a doctrine of hate. Which doesn't diminish the fact that you are still wrong by the way."
Thankyou.

SOnds intriguing, Nightlamp. Who would that be?
(Tellme, oh Father, why is this board different from all other boards?)
Ok, I have been wanting to ask this question for a couple weeks, but was afraid it would start a whole big *THING*. One of the first posts I read on the boards ever ever ever was one titled "WELSH" on the Hell board. I seem to remember the author getting at least suspended over it. Does anyone know what I am talking about, and was it real trollery or an argument gone out of hand?

Oh yes, the Welch Squelch!
Then there was Shaitan, and there was also someone who insisted in posting with lots of capital letters to emphasise his highly predictable posts, and the guy who didn't last very long because his trollery was a love of text messaging.....
There was also a chap, whose name I don't remember (but something 'clever') who I'm sure was spoofing it as a fundamentalist - I wondered if it was Ham'n'Eggs in one of his many manifestations, but I wasn't quite sure.

there was also a chap I had to report as his website was for paedophiles; and a chap who mostly posted on the Caption Contest when drunk(?) but also a few times on the boards, and became very offensive; I think he was the reason the posts on the cc had to be monitored for a while before being accepted. Sorry, I'm not very good at remembering names, but I expect you can remember who I mean.
Phew, there have been quite a lot! Sweet nostalgia.....

Hmmm I think that the Icke thing may have had something to do with me though i'm not sure. If it was, it wasn't trolling it was just taking the piss good and proper. I'm suprised that its was regarded as trollism. Sorry.
On another issue, the john D miller thing, not a troll just a looney good and proper. A genius or madman, there is a fine line...

Still, it was a good troll: I went to England once, and visited a uni CU and I can definitively say the British church is shit.

He used to post on churchnet and come up with weird number crunches that made no sense at all. The first few times they were mildly interesting, and most definitely amusing. Then you just took it as part and parcel of the board, no one used to read them or reply to them. He used to take the number of bricks used to make the great pyramids, multiply it by a random number and come to the conclusion that they were constructed to appease the devil or something similar.
Nutter.

The first couple of pages of that are the best fun. In my opinion, it goes downhill from there, but what do I know?

Lets see if I understand this MasterTroll Theatre.
The Troll is watched by an audience of people who might make comments to reinforce their surveillance and disapproval of the Troll's behavior. Other people learn that they are also always watched like the Troll and learn to modify their behavior accordingly.
I've always had a soft spot for Foucault; this sounds like a virtual panopticon.

Any individual, taken almost at random, can operate the machine ... Similarly, it does not matter what motive animates him: the curiosity of the indiscreet, the malice of a child, the thirst for knowledge of a philosopher who wishes to visit this museum of human nature, or the perversity of those who take pleasure in spying and punishing.

Scot, help me out here. Wasn't there another guy who posed as a chemistry student or something? Used to stir up trouble with Protestants and then get Father Gregory to fight his battles for him? People would get so sick of the tag team effort they would start to ignore them and then this guy, what the hell was his name, would accuse everyone of being dickless and brainless for running away. I thought I saw the guy trying empty flattery on FCB recently. It worked so well on Father Gregory. I laughed my ass off--FCB was like, "Thanks for the compliment but I confess your posts are utterly imcomprehensible." He did a pretty good job sucking Josephine in because she is such a sweet and trusting soul. "Isn't what you really mean this?" "Oh yes yes Josephine do go on."
Isn't the Spanish word for Law, "Ley?" I'm pretty sure it is. It would be strange for a devout Catholic to call themselves "Druid Law," no? At least I think so.
Anyway, I saw this thread once where this Druid Law guy was talking in German about anti-Semistism, I mean how obvious can you get? He was back at it on the communion/Eucharist threads recently. It will be interesting to see how he adapts to not being able to use that any more since it has been Dead Horsed.
Do you know who I'm talking about Scot? You must; he always seems to especially delight in pissing you off and seeing you pissed off. I have to say he's my least favorite troll, but one of the more challenging ones. He does for Catholicism what Gunner just can't seem to get done for Anglicanism.

JimT, I should post some witty banter here to match yours, but I can't stop giggling long enough.

Considering that Foucault himself usually rates only an 8.0 and a 9.5 (OK, occasionally a perfect 10 from the crooked Bulgarian judge, but only because he hates those cute Canadians with the matching sweaters -- and no, I don't mean RooK and Raspberry Rabbit), I think the student has finally outclassed the master.

JimT, you have officially made the center spread of Tigerbeat for me. You are the Fabio of sarcasm.

Uhhh... magazine aimed at teenage girls which features hunky teen idol pics and information? Popular in the late '70's/ early '80's? Is there a UK equivalent?
