Meant to quote uberstuber, I assume


Troll Slaying (by XKCD) - Nii87 - 2009-06-02

Ahem, yes. Sorry! The quote button is in a unintuitive position.


Troll Slaying (by XKCD) - Jarvik7 - 2009-06-02

I'd say the Report button is in an unintuitive position. I've used it a few times to reply because I wasn't paying attention.

That's something, thank you very much!


Troll Slaying (by XKCD) - Thora - 2009-06-02

My post was kind of mangled English. I had wanted to ask if it's still considered trolling if a poster had no intent to troll. For e.g. an innocently posed question that will obviously get folks all riled up. Or someone with a personality type that isn't aware she's being confrontational or belligerent. Just curious.


Troll Slaying (by XKCD) - bodhisamaya - 2009-06-02

The designation of "troll" does seem to be evolving to describe anyone with an unpopular question.


Troll Slaying (by XKCD) - Ryuujin27 - 2009-06-02

However, it does usually refer to someone who started a particular topic to rile up the masses. Usually the troll will only post the initial topic and then leave it to... hmm, I guess the best word is "fester," but sometimes they will return to feed the flames.

Didn't even noticed the error until you pointed it out. What you meant was clear. I just took it as a delightful rhetorical question. I assume others did, too, and hence the lack of responses.

Would that be a good test in Japanese sarcasm? I would assume that the sarcasm and irony would have to be translated.

This one is stupid. I needed one day to understand it. Since when do I have to know authors and their books for teenage girls to understand xkcd comics?

Have you been living under a rock or something? Perhaps a pineapple under the sea?


Troll Slaying (by XKCD) - harusame - 2009-06-02

xkcd picks up a lot from popular culture (and subculture and counterculture). For example, frequent references to Firefly and Serenity are made, with one entire week's series based on it: (http://xkcd.com/577/) through (http://xkcd.com/581/).
A reference to Star Wars: http://xkcd.com/469/
Snakes on a Plane: http://xkcd.com/107/

Yeah, I know. But romances for teenage girls? Is this the new big thing in the USA everyone should know about? Ok, I am from old Europe....


Troll Slaying (by XKCD) - harusame - 2009-06-02

Well, the books were INSANELY popular, and then the movie came out, and now the stars of the movie are all over the tabloids because they're *actually* dating, and they're even having a cruise with the actors and some fans...you get the idea. It's sort of like Harry Potter 2.0.

Which part of Europe are you from? At least in Sweden, you have to pretty much live under a rock to miss out on what Twilight is. (I haven't seen the movie or anything, just saying.)

I am from Germany and I heard about the Twilight movie some time ago so I was not totally clueless. But while scanning the comic I didn't recognized the women as the author..

Twilight is famous for being one of the worst books ever written. It has also sold several billion copies, perhaps even several trillion.
