I think the reason Andel is so effective is that his trolling is so basic and un-inventive that we as a board, who have been groomed to deal with much more complex trolling, take it seriously because we find it hard to believe that it's actual trolling.

I hope that makes sense.


It sorta does, but as I can attest, trolling is an artform, and although his trollign may be "basic" it is still "refined" to a point where it resonates deeply within us all.

Basic trolling can be extremely effective, but Andel can't pull it off. It's too easy to just say "oh he's trolling" and never think about him again. He doesn't get under your skin, it's all superficial, unmemorable. That's not to say it's bad, though, a little shock trolling here and there is always fun, like a "that's what she said" joke. He's gonna have to step it up if he wants to be compared to the top tier trolls here.

I think he sort of does pull it off. Like, if Sess were running around making the topics that Andel has been making, no one would care much because we'd know Sess was just messing around. But Andel started making these topics as a largely unknown quantity. A lot of board 8 either didn't remember him or didn't know him, so it was tough at first for them to realize "lol trolling."

It obviously doesn't upset those of us "in the know" because it takes something rather special for that, but Andel has succeeded in trolling the s*** out of more than a few people since his infamous return.

I have never personally attacked anyone that didnt resort to such tactics with me at first...my MO is to be nice to those deserving of civility and to point out silly platitudes and faulty logic. If being logical and rational are traits of a troll I guess I am guilty...

We're approaching Sir Chris levels of smugness with this one.

it seems like the immediate reaction to a large amount of bad posts here is "oh he's trolling and I'm in on the joke."

some people are just awful users and that's it. I submit that Andel is not trolling at all and really does think these things. Guiga-esque.

I don't think Andel is a troll - primarily because I don't find most of the stuff he's posted all that ridiculous. There's the Norway post (for which he apologized) and something about Democrats and Republicans all being the same and the media trying to make it seem differently, but that's about it. Plus he's exactly the same as when he was a regular in '04, and nobody called him a troll back then. Calling users trolls just because people dislike them is a more recent phenomenon on Board 8.

also f2-f4

This is pretty much true, however. Both are right-wing parties.

Vouch for the former, but not for the latter - people have always called people they didn't like that way.

True, but I wouldn't say they're the exact same. The Republicans are still more right-wing.

Yeah, I shouldn't say this never occurred back in the day. But I still think people were a lot less eager to pull the "obvious troll is obvious" card back then than they are now.

That half the people here don't seem to know what a troll is doesn't help matters. For starters, neither making stupid posts nor being abrasive necessarily makes you a troll.

I think in this case he's trolling because he makes topics about points he doesn't actually believe in attempt to get a lot of heated discussion. But maybe he actually does believe what he says!

This I agree with. We see this crap too much nowadays. Look at ExTha in this topic, his behaviour is a disgrace to what ExTha stood for back when he was one of the coolest users here. What a shadow of his former self he's become...

Even I got accused of trolling a while back, which was pretty amusing to me. The only time I've ever trolled in my seven years here was when I posted on an obvious troll alt for a short amount of time in 2006.
