The Trolls

After reading this story about trolls:

I hazard to say f.net is a most civilized place.
I would post the article - but it's a bit long
and probably not legal. If you can't access it
or signup to access it, post and I can stick up parts.

Our trolls (of which I count myself a member ) tend to be a bit more sophisticated than your average internet lolerskate.

They also seem to be blending trolls and hackers, which is odd.

If any of our trolls aren't more sophisticated, then at least they're kinda cute and fuzzy.

I think the credit for the lack of trolling goes to the members in general. Dedicated trolls like Reverselunge just don't get the rise out of people like they would elsewhere. (And I don't think you're a troll, you just enjoy a good flame war every now and then.)

I think if you're looking at the best of the trolls, you're going to run into hackers, just because the level of computer literacy and misanthropy is going to go up the closer to the top you get.
