Troll .neqv. incivil

http://www.progress.demon.co.uk/Fun/troll-faq.html

"Start the troll in a reasonable and erudite manner. You have to engage your readers' interest and draw them in. Never give too much away at the start - although a brief abstract with hints of what's to come can work wonders."

Most of the trolls on the forums to which I referred are *quite* civil. Nary a profanity to be found

But to see their wingnut assertions shot down (with ammo left over) by folks who are far more politically astute than myself brings joy to my heart. And it give me ammo when I get in arguments.

Most on zd forums who use profanity or hurl insults are not trolls. But they certainly are incivil :o)

The best trolls rarely respond to any subsequent posts. Mike Cox - he'd be a true master if he changed his screen name from time to time. But I think his true mission is to entertain...

P.S. Anyone remember the significance of ".neqv."?
