Foo - Who is BF's greatest (active) troll?

I figured Foo was the best place to put this.

Before voting, there is a very comprehensive definition, history and analysis of trolling here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_troll

For the purposes of this thread, let's concentrate on the 'one-shot' troll:
"One-shot troll messages are intended to be disruptive, and tend to be very obvious to ensure that they will receive annoyed replies." In my own opinion, a good one-shot troll makes an OP, and never has to respond to any posts as the war he/she started rages on with a life of it's own.

My nominee for this category would be SinCityCycler - he's proven to be a one-shot master.

I vote for this as best thread ever

A.troll? She's my favorite troll! :D

chipcom, you've been here a while...how about your top five?

Sincity has been able to walk the line for a long time. If you are asking for purely active...I could agree with the recommendation

A.troll? She's my favorite troll! :D

No brainer... A.troll!

Chipcom ;)

Only 7th post? That answer took longer than I thought. I mean you KNOW somebody was gonna do it.

I've never experienced him myself, but another member was once telling about this guy "Hank Reardon" in the mountain biking forum who was pretty horrible.

He can be a good guy, he definitely knows his stuff. Just don't get on his bad side or he'll verbally beat you to death. I'll quote SBW on this one: "He always won. :lol:"

Ha, on the troll index I am just an itty bitty troll...more like the klass klown.

I'm inclined to agree with SinCity, but I'm really not sure he can truthfully be considered a troll. It's just that every time he posts, he shows an almost unbelievable lack of tact, taste, or common sense.

Just take a peek over in P & R. There are a handful (three leap to mind) who repeatedly are spitting toenails and patching up bullet-holes in their feet. They aren't especially capable, but they certainly are persistent.

True...P&R is a whole different animal...that eats its young! :eek:

Bill Dozer. Aka bldzr

He doesn't seem to try very hard, but achieves maximum results. He won't even post unless it's to raise hell.

...another member was once telling about this guy "Hank Reardon" in the mountain biking forum who was pretty horrible. Pete Fagerlin, (AKA Hank Reardon, John Galt, and Rank Heardon) should see a therapist. The Man-Child has some issues.

Vegas Vic comes to mind!

Oooooh, interesting thread. I don't know if I have the guts to list my nominees though.

VV is the ultimate troll.

Vic is not really a troll. He posts other subjects, not just inflammatory ones. Just because you don't like him, doesn't mean he fits the description. Same goes for Hank Rearden. Not a troll, just not friendly and highly opinionated. Big difference.

By your definition, Helmet Head is a troll from hell. But he's not. He's just an ass.

errrrmm. . . . . R600DuraAce?

Actually, I don't think he's a troll. I think he's just totally clueless. Totally, utterly, completely, absolutely clueless. If there's anyone here who hasn't experienced the legacy of posts he's had in the roadie forum, you owe it to yourself to check it out. Seriously.

A.Troll.


I think she wants me to be her boyfriend.

i love everyone even the trolls :)

P and R. Even in non - P & R topics, the wars get pretty hot about who is an overdressed wanna-be cyclist.

After much reflexion and caffeine, I deleted my prior post:lol:
I figured naming members on being trolls could be nothing but trouble, if being a troll means being deceptive as to what you truly are, being full of c*** and start trouble, then yeah.. I have a couple in mind but the day is too nice for me to start an argument!:D

This is true, this is true! Sooooooooo....will ya??

Actually most of the 'real' trolls would be quite flattered to be recognized - but I get your point. ;)

C'mon BDG, name me... I can take it. :)

:lol: you're nothing but a troll! you're the spirit of foo!!

Yep, you're right. :)



BOO!

I'm not sure whether I'm flattering myself here or not, but I have noticed myself to kill many a thread. Although this alone does not define me as a troll, it certainly is consistent with the "do not feed the troll" mentality.

I wasn't around for the 53X11 All the Way, but hear he's a legend. So I vote for EURO. SinCity is right up there - he provokes, but some of his questions are interesting in an odd way.

EURO, on the other hand, is brilliant. He's confrontational, he baits people, and he's completely up front about it. And we (okay, some of us) fall for it. Something about his posts always provokes a reaction. And what's even better is he's right most of the time, too. Sheer genius.

edit: oops, missed the bit about the troll being 'active'. Not sure if EURO's around anymore.

EURO - is once again active (but for how long?) :D I'll have to change my vote to him, since P & R looks to be gone once again.

atroll is great also, but not in the way the OP described.

Euro is hardly a troll...he actually believes some of the crap he spouts, then runs off to the mods when you give him a taste of his own medicine. Whining to your mommy is not a desirable attribute for a troll.

only one vote for R600DuraAce? Come ON people! I've not seen anyone post in such a way to get people goin nuts like he does. It's classic. It's beautiful. It makes me cry.

The best part about R600's legacy is that there is absolutely zero consensus on whether he really is a troll, or whether he's just totally clueless. IMHO, that is the true mark of a truly great troll - no one knows if they're serious or not. As soon as someone actually becomes recognised as a troll, the tone in their threads changes. When people aren't sure, the hilarity ensues without end.

Oh, Chip. He's still haunting you. Do you wake up in the dark, to the awful screaming of the EUROs? :D Try to let him go, man. Try.

Haunting me? He still calls me on the phone and sends little love letters! I think poor Benny boy is in love with me! :eek:

Did you bully poor Euro? stuck a stick in his wheels?
Actualy my first experience on here before I found foo was euro, I thought this website was insane!!! :lol:then I stayed in foo and firgured out that it is indeed insane!
