Forum trollers as a literary genre are almost dead. We have YouTube now, so if we want the quick and dirty, we can point, click, and watch. But every once in a while, a site comes along that still has the good old forum section. No one reads these anymore, but if you get on an active site, you have a chance to “BE SOMEBODY, BAYBEE!”
- First of all, be polite at first. Add viable commentary and thoughtful analysis as you can. Lowercase only. Establish yourself as a thinking person.
- Slowly lose all control. If you cannot convince people with facts, baffle them with bullshit. Here again, lower case letters. Motivation: a slightly drunk uncle discussing politics with a 10 year old child.
- Begin inserting catchy random phrases into your writing. Make sure, at first anyhow, that these phrases still have bearing on the topic. Save the really good ones for a little later.
