Iā€™m confused. Are you guys saying that there are other message boards? Besides this one, I mean. Dang. Thatā€™s why I love this place. I learn something new every day. ---

Crap. I hit submit to soon. We really dislike trolls here, and think theyā€™re jerks, because they impair our ability to use and enjoy this board. How can you justify doing it elsewhere to yourselves? Iā€™m sure that the Administrators of other boards get just as annoyed as ours do. ---

One time at SAAN, we were invaded by posters from the Counterstrike boards, posting porn and crap. So we counter invaded them the following evening with Hello Kitty, fluffy bunnies, teddy bears, Care Bears, and saying things like, ā€œWE WUB JOOO!!!ā€ \*HUGGZZZLEEEE!!!" We shut them down. Previously, some posters had done this to Something Awful when they invaded us. We had SA by the balls. ---

We should team up and snag the Mona Lisa. We can give it back after a year or so, but the fact we can get away with ganking it would be coolā€¦šŸ†’ And then we can use the money we earn by fencing the Mona Lisa to by that hockey franchise! To steal from /.: 1. Steal Mona Lisa 2. Buy NHL franchise 3. Profit! [/hijack] Oh, and yes, I do get the urge to troll. But not here. Trolling smart people backfires. ---

**Scylla** , unless the guy is a glob of flesh completely blocking the goal (probably contra the rules, as heā€™d have to sit on the ice), just being big ainā€™t gonna cut it. Remember: Everyoneā€™s on skates and everyoneā€™s got legs. ---

> [@](#): > > Scylla, unless the guy is a glob of flesh completely blocking the goal (probably contra the rules, as heā€™d have to sit on the ice) Thatā€™s what Iā€™m saying. Big enough to block the whole crease. Weā€™re talking Jabba the hut, here. Thereā€™s no rule against a guy that fat. ---

**Scylla** , thereā€™s no rule against obesity, just not being able to stand up on your own two skates. But Iā€™m not a hockey expert. Maybe Iā€™m wrong. Hey, **Scylla** , ever get the urge to hijack? šŸ˜ƒ ---

Well, I donā€™t know if it trolling, but on another board I have two identities. One is Me and the other one is The Cranky Alt Me. On that site, I show up pretty regularly but the Alt Me doesnā€™t post all that much. Iā€™m not entirely sure it is trolling since both of us have been there so long, but perhaps it is trolling since no one else knows about it. Otherwise, I donā€™t troll. I guess that sounds wierd. ---

Bet I do. I constantly fight the urge to register a new username and do a Jack Dean Tyler job on yā€™all. Luckily, Iā€™ve resisted the urge so far. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ever-get-the-urge-to-troll/157934.md?page=1)
