List a single trolling technique.

It's the thought of giving you a long-deserved vigorous neck massage that keeps me coming back.

Ha ha, the only neck you will ever vigourously massage is the neck of your dick into those size two Mary Janes of "Linda's"

Make numerous duals appearing to be like someone you hate,
Play them and appear the victor over your "enemy".

Danny Hellman is a real person, unfortunately.

None of you circus-monkees mentioned the one aspect of trolling that has any virtue to it (although "The Question" came close)"

DISCUSSION TROLL

Said troll is deeply interested in a particular topic and desires to move (shit I can't type... 2nd glass of wine,...) the discussion beyond the confines of "groupthink" towards discussion of all options, not just the politically correct ones.

Often, the discussion troll may take the adversarial (devil's advocate) side to argue with someone he agrees with for the purposes of strengthening his target's viewpoints.

This goes back farther than internet trolling to various discussion media where consensus is formed. I would imagine this type is older than Adam.

Soemone using a topic I was dear to: muslims beheading 4 year olds because they were a "threat" caused me to join TW.

Shit... my spelling's getting worse. better end it... Nothing better for true public concensuys than a discussion troll.

I've done many boards, and this one's the best I've ever seen for that kind of interaction. There are genuine spam free zones here where none of it is brooked even a little. In fact, if your "opponent is a fool" you can troll them right into the spam free zones to get DC'd, which is exactly what I think happened to you in particular. There are hardly any rules, but the ones there are are really enforced pretty efficiently. I've only been here a year. but this is may favorite board in the universe. I don't post anywhere else, except rarely as necessary.

I guarantee you'll have other examples you've labored over into the long drunken nights; when are you actually releasing the book now, BTW?
 
The Question said:
Take the same side as prevailing opinion, but be such an ass about it that the prevailing opinion is suddenly reversed.

Another is to do the exact opposite -- where the first is "The Uncouth Yes-Man", the opposite of that is, "The Polite Nazi." Take an offensive viewpoint and support it with solid reasoning.

Both these are fun, especially if you are defending an utterly ridiculous concept. What's even better is arguing an unpopular point to death until you finally get someone to concede the point, then abruptly reversing your stance to take their original side. If you do it well enough, you can guide them around the bend so that you still are fighting, but now they're arguing your original point.
 
^^Or, just as good, argue the most unpopular position you can find, do it with rock-solid reason and sources, and then wait awhile until your antagonists argue a position similar to yours and point out that's what they've done.

Then sit back and watch 'em shrivel.

:kitty:
 
Maybe this has already been said: find loopholes in the rules and exploit them. There are almost always loopholes.
 
119) Serendipity. Taking an event unrelated to your trolling that you can capitalize on , and CRUSH YOUR OPPONENT WITH IT.
 
Go hard after a particular admin. Make duals that agree with you that the admin in question acts in egregious and unfair ways. Every time someone complains about the admin, you and your duals chime in and give false examples of past abuses. Eventually, your hard work will be rewarded. The admin will either quit or be forced out.

BTW, I don't think this will work on TK.

:)
 
BTW, I think political trolling is passe'.

Are people still doing that?

I believe trolling should be confined to mundane issues of no real importance to regular good people. For example, what is the provenance of the Number 2 pencil? Which pencil company makes the most efficient pencil eraser which does not smudge too much? The job of the troll here is to make people care enough about an otherwise dumb topic to join the debate and take sides. Hah!!

It is passe to one such as yourself because it is beyond your intellect. Natch.

There's a guy at the Comicon political forum who does political pretty well, named Porta. Guy's as obnoxious as Lucy.
