Trolls?

[FONT=“Comic Sans MS”]******[/FIONT]
I was recently, in a political news forum, accused of being a “troll”, because I had posted what was mistakenly interpreted as being right-wing, in a predominately left-wing forum. Hell, I didn’y even know what the word “troll” meant and I surely didn’t post the message to inflame or incite anyone. It provoked a great big on-line argument, accusations flew on both sides (particularly with one person who kept insisting that I was both a “LIAR” and a "troll) and I resigned to never post on that website again. But, I had to find out what a “troll” was, so as to clarify what I had been accused of.

Thanks. Your website surely answered my questions.

Sorry, I clicked the wrong button.

I assume the OP is referring to the Staff Report What is a Troll?

Funny, without Giles posting that Staff Report, you would easily assume the OP was either in the wrong forum or a whoosh…

Don’t worry about it. To tell you the truth, successfully putting your first post into Comic font would have been one of the worst things you could have done, wrt making a good impression on anybody.

Yes, using comic sans on your first post is like showing up to a blind date with a cold sore.

Actually, I bet making it really big Comic Sans would make an even worse impression

No, that would be Comic Sans in purple.

Comic Sans for Everyone

Comic Sans for Everyone

Here at Google, the Webmaster Team is always running experiments and conducting research to improve user experience and increase conversion rates across our websites.

Following some rigorous user testing of 41 different fonts, investigating how each affected user experience, we discovered one font consistently outperformed all others when it comes to user satisfaction, level of engagement, understanding web content, productivity, click-through rates and conversion rates: Comic Sans.

We’ll therefore be rolling out Comic Sans as our default font across all Google products on April 4, 2011.

Announced just recently. On April 1, in fact.
