  • I've talked with an obvious troll too. He's on YouTube. His username is MercenarySlick, and he absolutely despises every country that isn't the United States. He believes that no country in the world except USA has achieved anything, and he constantly raves on about how Britain has failed and such in a bevy of curse words. Even if you tell him obvious facts about successes around the world, he thinks up some miserable excuse to counter you. He's like a child who hasn't done his homework. An example:

    "Some of the world's best bands come from the UK"
    "All f***ing overrated. None of them match up to Elvis, The Doors and Bread you pommie c**t".

    Yeah, he's really heartless. Wouldn't be surprised if he lives by himself with no one to talk to. Poor guy.

    He's so deluded and childish that everybody's laughing at him as if he were joking, and it's made him very mad and bitter because nobody is really offended because his statements are so untrue. Remember though, if you laugh at a troll, that's good! Trolls hate it when you find what they say funny. Trolls hate: compliments, when you laugh at them, when you patronise them ("awww, poor you, you silly thing"), when you tell them they have no life/friends (it reminds them of it) and when you ignore them. All four work fine.
