dknj's Journal: Trolls on Slashdot

I've been pretty good lately at avoiding trolls lately. I avoid reading comments on articles that will bring out mass trolls. An example is when a security hole is found in linux, the comments are usually littered with "Linux is fixed in 2 days, lets see microsoft do that!" "Windows still has the most holes!" "BSD Sux0rz". However, once in blue moon a technical article comes out and 70% of the high school kids go back into their caves. Of course, you may have the one or two that claim thay have real life experience due to their massive 5 computer network in their house that they setup themselves and therefore their points are valid. But its usually an informative discussions (nuclear-related stories are the best for this).

Anyhow, I was reading slashdot comments the other day and decided to reply to a post that appeared that the guy wasn't fully aware of what he was posting about. Not a big deal, everyone does it at least once. The only difference was this guy continued to fight me and appeared that he didn't even read my previous posts. It wasn't until the last post when I realized he was nothing more than a clever troll...
