Now, while I agree that trolls trying to get people's hard earned wong, or sympathy for a vampire dh draining the blood of his infants nightly, are not a Good Thing and should be swiftly dispatched, can't we keep the very funny and obvious ones, like yesterday's Yerp Pedophiles for eg?

They are FUN. Everyone knows they are not entirely the ticket, no one is taken in and most important of all we all get a good larf.

I'm reading it now.

'There is scientific evidence that if a 14 year old girl has sex with a 30 year old man it will give her brain damage.'

HAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAA Love it.

Also read some of the links to threads posted by him on other forums. The philosophy one is genius - they respond so earnestly. Only MN seems to have taken the piss.

BEST. TROLL. EVER

I do think DrBeanJuice should become the troll against which we judge all other trolls. We could give them bean points for originality, entertainment and longevity, and at the end of the year we could award the best one the DrBeanJuice prize for amusing us all greatly services to trolling.

Smallships' husband dressed as an elf and pooing his pants on his stag do WAS A TROLL???

No!!!

yy Theresa!

Categories:

  • Surrealness (this will be the toughest category when measuring against DrBeanJuice)
  • Spelling (or lack thereof)
  • Inability to listen to reason
  • Profligacy - are they exclusive to MN, or spreading the love around
  • Lack of logic/coherency in their argument (again, tough to beat DrBeanJuice - I mean, sex causing brain damage, girls being given trampolines - it's all there!)
  • Most DM like thread title

Wouldn't MNHQ have the sense/discretion to decide whether to keep troll threads if there was A) overwhelming votes to keep a troll thread and B) no one objecting because it was too sensitive? I'd be happy to let MNHQ have those powers.

I can't believe how earnest and kneejerk they were on NetHuns response to Boomba/DrBean thread. I'd be deathly bored trying to be a regular member of their community.

Oh I'm so glad you linked to that thread! It's fantastic! Definitely beats La Bella Italiana or whatever they were calling themselves last

NicholasTeakozy · 08/06/2012 14:14

Thanks for that link Abs. It's hilarious! :o

After reading the NM version of that thread, I am amused to discover the NM also have lynch mobs (allegedly)

TheresaMayHaveaBiscuit · 08/06/2012 14:38

AbsofAwesomeness Liking the categories Grin

Always wondered about the DM-like thread titles - do you think it really is Paul Dacre?

StealthPolarBear · 08/06/2012 14:50

Bibbity she had name changed. So small ships not a troll (afaik) but trolled (humorously and with no intent to harm) under a name change iyswim

squoosh · 08/06/2012 14:51

Pah!

Hoped against hope that this was about my Danish Troels, and not boring old internet Trolls.

HRHOliviaMumsnet · 08/06/2012 18:54

I would much rather talk about Troels.

Pinot · 08/06/2012 19:08

I agree with everlong, acksherly. It's a faine laine innit.

hackmum · 08/06/2012 19:10
