I would say that 90% of all trolls to be found on Usenet are vulgar and
disgusting, if not downright criminal (Ed Gin comes immediately to mind).
However, there exists one mighty exception to the above rule - and that is
Ed Dolan, the Great and Good Troll!
What Ed Dolan does on these freaking-cycling-newsgroups (all one word) is
beyond what can be expressed without becoming maudlin. He will shut up
when
you are being sensible and reasonable (a rarity on these groups) and he
will
only sally forth like a great and good troll when you are being stupid and
irascible (which is most of the time).
Let's face it, most of you have not been called blockheads since you were
teenagers and part of a cohesive social group who knew you for the
jack*****
that you are. But I am here to do pricisely that - and for free too! It is
a mark of My Greatness that I do not expect any thanks for my
contributions.
I consider it part of my noblesse oblige as a superior human being that I
bestow this honorarium freely on my inferiors. Yea, it is a thankless
task,
but if I don't do it, who will?
These newsgroups are greatly enriched by my presence if I do say so
myself.
Even Jim McNamara, an insignificant weasel, acknowledges my Greatness by
constantly stalking me. Yea, I am like a mighty whale with lots of little
fishes following in my wake.
