Internet study

They also have a lot less hair and their cars tend to be about 5 years older and don't seem to be nearly worth as much as they are on the internet. Oh yeah, you can't even begin to imagine how many lawy ...[text shortened]... s are really really honest and care about you. In real life, not so much, at least afterward.

I found out that most women on the internet are actually the men you describe.

cool, maybe you should find a different way to troll

Can I just clear something up for the newbies (anybody under the age of 28.6).

A troll was a senior network admin responsible for closing ports and blocking websites on a network (usually a grumpy beast with no sense of humour).
This goes back to the early 90's and anybody kicking around an AOL or Freeserve back office might still remember.

And just for the record, Joe Blogging was a pseudonym for random, non-account holder comments on a bulletin board back in the day.

I think the word you are after instead of troll is "twat", it has always been an excellent word to sum up the situation, why change it?

The Internet is often thought of as a forum that enables egalitarian communication among ...[text shortened]... attracting attention."

That's a decade late, at least, and a more specific use than the normal, older one. Check out TJF:
