'Twas July again and the pimply hordes
Did spam and troll the 'bakery;
They drooled upon their old keyboards,
And posted crap, succulently.

"Beware the newbie troll, my son!
You know they're wet behind the ears!
Beware the _uk group, and shun
The ludicrous Pole Pants ideas."

Jutta took her kernel source in hand;
Long time a compromise she sought.
Then sent a packet on public band,
And ruled the radio LAN as root.

And as in hackish glee he grinned,
The newbie troll, pants pole aflame,
Came whiffling through its login prompt
And burbled as it came.

Kill -9, rm -rf, and sed and sed!
The troll's account went *clunk*!
Jutta left it dead, and went to bed,
And slept peaceful as a monk.

"And hast thou slain the newbie troll?"
"He's come to harm, I kicked him off !
That ISP's security,
Wasn't really very tough."

'Twas July again and the pimply hordes
Did spam and troll the 'bakery;
They drooled upon their old keyboards,
And posted crap, succulently.

       I'm left feeling very beamish.

       Troll, troll, troll the bakery/2,
Trolling as a team.
Warily, necessarily primarily militarily,
They'll be stomped until they scream.

       For those of you wondering, here's a troll pointscoring list that may make some sense:   

       The new Trolling Point System for Trolls has been approved by the Central Troll Committee for Troll Standards and Procedures. The new TROLL POINT SYSTEM (TPS) will take effect on September 1, 1999.   

       10 points Killfile: Being Killfiled is the highest honor and the most points a Troll can achieve. It represents complete victory and indicates that the Troll has performed on a MASTER TROLL level.   

       9 points: Complaint to Trolls ISP: While not as good as being killfiled, a complaint to a Trolls ISP indicates that once again the TROLL has struck hard and deep.   

       8 points: Death Threat: Another indication of a Master Troll at Work. The death threat is firm proof that the Troll has cut to the bone and left his victim (the fish) floundering and gasping for air.   

       7 points: Personal Verbal Attack: A personal verbal attack on a Troll in response to a trolling post indicates that the Troll has riled and disturbed the fish in question.   

       6 points: Plea to Ignore Troll: A Plea from a Forum Group member to other group regulars to ignore the Troll in question is a sure sign that the Troll is doing his/her sport with proficiency.   

       5 points: Killfile response: When a poster who has claimed to have KILLFILED a particular Troll, then responds to another Post by the Troll in question, rates a solid 5 points for the Trolls ability to snag a hypocritical fish.   

       4 points: Logical response: A person who responds to a Troll trying to use logic and reason to rebut a Troll is worth 4 points for such stupidity as to think a Troll cares about what they have to say.   

       3 points: 10+ individual responses: When a post by a Troll gets at least 10 responses from 10 different individuals.   

       2 points: Positive response: If a Troll gets a positive response such as ROFLOL: LOL: Great Post, etc.   

       1 point: Any type of response at all.   

       Thanks to St Threef, for finding this info.

       mmmmmmm, Croissant.

       UnaBubba: Good link. Maybe this should be in the help file somewhere ? It might help Newbies to avoid evolving into trolls. The Halfbakery personality types section has a place there as well, in my opinion.

       Credit St3f for the link. I stand on the shoulders of giants.

       Personally, I fly on the wings of darkness, but that's another story ...

       UnaBubba- you picked my favourite poem, fortunately you did a creditable job so I'll reward you with pastry.   

       I dare you to have a go at the Hunting of the Snark.

       Geez, I did The Ryme of the Ancient Mariner, Ozymandias, The Raven, 20-30 stanzas of The Rubayat (now deleted with someone's account), and you want me to do 145 x 4 line stanzas of Carroll?

UnaBubba, Jul 19 2002
  

       Absolutely.

madradish, Jul 19 2002
  

       Maybe some other time. I don't have the time available right now, but it sounds like an interesting challenge.

UnaBubba, Jul 20 2002
  

       I think UnaBubba's going to turn out to be a Boojum after all. I think I have some thimbles and forks somewhere, but all the Railway Shares have gone ...
