Maku’s gonna edit it a bit until she’s satisfied, and then we’ll put it in the Declarations.

Nice. How about pin the blog as the first thing every new poster must read before they post in the forums?

Beautiful! Instant classic. Maku, I wanna put this in the Declarations of Intent. You cool with that? I’ll see if I can jig forum permissions so that you can post directly, as opposed to me quoting you.

Great first post, Maku! Haha…it really is funny how they fall into categories. Not only are they trolls, but they’re unoriginal trolls.

Wow, that’s a great and rather timely post Makulita! I’d say that your observations apply, not only to internet trolling, but even to the wider gamut of falacious debating techniques in general. It’s funny how difficult it is to be truly original, even at being stupid.

Can someone (not me, I’m too busy and important ;P) make capsule profile pages for each of these? Then when people post one of their long rants about how Asia is more racist or whatever the fuck, we can just link them to their personal capsule.

Nice post, makulita.

It’s almost freakishly eerie how most of the trolls pretty much fall into the categories you listed.
