Gnu Diddy! asked:

And what did you get out of it?

Around 1997, I used to troll forums frequented by users of Slackware Linux, making fun of their preferred systems lack of technical features present in Debian GNU/Linux. (For those who don’t know Linux: at that time, commercial organizations tended to use Red Hat, but “geeks” were split about evenly between Debian and Slackware loyalists. Now, Slackware is a “niche” distribution and Debian is constantly growing and spawning derivatives, because it is superior…. oops, old habits.)

Anyway, it was just fun arguing with people, provoking, getting people to take themselves way too seriously. I suppose that’s why – though I can’t abide certain trolling (There’s no such thing as taking rape “too seriously”.), I can still appreciate a lot of it and don’t necessarily assume a truly malicious intent.

Anyone else ever trolled who doesn’t troll now?
Oracle, I saw a bit of that on one of your questions. The individual behind the rumors is quite unbalanced. Best to ignore them.
beɪəwʊlf, multiple accounts is your MO, not mine.
