Knock it off! Why are you trying to annoy everyone? Do you feel big? Do you want to see how fast you can get banned? Isn’t the 6th grade challenging enough for you the 5th time around? What is your malfunction? Can you not think of anything intelligent enough on your own without reviving something months old? Go away, pesky fly! I haven’t yet had my third cup of coffee and I am tired of you already! Where are the troll hunters!? We need you back, Wally! We miss you so terribly . . . You would have decimated these trolls back to the ooze from whence they came without a second glance! ---

Heloise, don’t you see, it’s not just the fact that the threads are dead. Our lil’ pal troll3 has mastered the search function and found that by entering the term “troll” into the subject line, every damn thread regarding trolls can be revived. (See aha’s requests in MPSIMS). troll3, go squick yourself. ---

WTF !?!? I go to take a little nap can’t get to sleep, come back and I’m up to my knees in troll shit ! Heloise, don’t try to understand why trolls do what they do. It will only cause your brain to twirl in circles. ---

Ayesha, Ayesha… ::shakes head:: you announced over on MPSIMS that you were taking a nap…and therefore leaving us unprotected… that’s all the troll needed in order to feel free to ‘play’… they fear you…can’t you feel it??? p.s., is troll shit washable, or do you have to have that dry-cleaned? ---

Now Dylan, You have known me for a good while. You know that no one has reason to fear me. I am beautiful, sweet, innocent, shy, even tempered, and let us not forget \*\* humble \*\* ! Troll shit has to be washed off with hot water and bleach or lysol. It takes alot of scrubbing to remove it. ---

One thing to watch out for is insulting stangers. Just because you’re talking to self-appointed troll-busters doesn’t mean they aren’t really trolls out to snare you. John Corrado is the worst. You would think the non-sequiter of shouting “Ignore the Trolls” woule be a tipoff, but there are always people stupider than you think.:wally ---

Another obvious one.
