Not so much a thought, but more of a Viz Top Tip. Still very apt though.

AMERICANS. Wipe out the Iraqi insurgency by simply joining their side. With your 'friendly fire' tactics, the war should be over in days.

'Apt' or another swipe at Americans, eh?

Another? Please kindly quote my other swipes.

Feel free to ignore this challenge.

What are we on about here - another 'Viz Top Tip'?

Ignored - fair enough. No suprises there hey, Boon?

Many (perhaps most) people, labelled "trolls", are simply being called thus by someone else in the course of a religious, political or other ordinary type of dispute; in other words, they are labelled as one for acting as a dissident or heretic. To characterize systems administrators or moderators as "the troll who got there first" is not entirely inaccurate. Many debates, between those with and without administrative or legal powers, seem simply to resemble a heated, personal, argument. On the internet in particular, the holding of technological powers (such as the power to ban users or block IP addresses) is not necessarily a sign of any superior political or moral judgement.

Attention-seeking trolls

This class of trolls seeks to obtain as many responses as possible and to absorb a disproportionate amount of the collective attention span.

* Messages containing an obvious flaw or error: "I think 2001: A Space Odyssey is Roman Polanski's best movie."

* Asking for help with an implausable task or problem "How do I season my Crock Pot? I don't want everything cooked in it to taste the same."

* Intentionally naive questions: "Can I use olive oil instead of pasta water, when cooking pasta?"

* Intentionally posting an outrageous argument, deliberately constructed around a fundamental but obfuscated flaw or error. Often the poster will become defensive when the argument is refuted, but may instead continue the thread through the use of further flawed arguments; this is referred to as "feeding" the troll.

* A subclass of the above is the flawed proof of an important unsolved mathematical problem or impossibility (e.g. 1 = 2); however, these may not always be troll-posts, and are sometimes, at least, mathematically interesting.

* Politically contentious messages: "I think George W. Bush is the best/worst President ever."

* Posting politically sensitive images in inappropriate places.

* Pretending to be innocent, after a flamewar ensues.

* Off-topic complaints about personal life, or threats of suicide: sometimes, this is the "cry for help" troll.

* Plural or paranoid answers to personal opinions expressed by individuals: "I don't believe that all of you really believe that, you are teaming against me."

* Any combination of the above: For example, a troll will combine inflammatory statements with poor grammar and AIM-speak (which is also known as "netspeak"). "lmfao u are so weak minded and predictablei thought i wan iggied i play ya like a card"

Väl formar den starke med svärdet sin värld,

Väl flyga som örnar hans rykten;

Men någon gång brytes det vandrande svärd

Och örnarna fällas i flykten.

Vad våldet må skapa är vanskligt och kort,

Det dör som en stormvind i öknen bort.

The strong man shapes his world by the sword

Like eagles his rumours do soar;

But one day the wandering sword shall be broken

And the eagles shot dead in their flight

What is wrought by violence is fragile and short

It shall fade away like a storm in the desert

Not quite the first Western suicide bomber

The first self-detonating Western lefty-ideologue is a Belgian woman, writes Paul Belein.

Surprised? The Guardian blubbers on due largely to her whiteness. She's not the first. Most of the worst emerged from European echo chamber. Surprised?

Spiked-Online's Brendan O'Neill:

Degauque may be the first white woman to blow herself up in the name of…Islam or something, but she is not the first Westerner to do so. The 7/7 bombers were four British citizens who did British things such as play cricket; one was a student, another was a former teaching assistant. Richard Reid, who tried to blow up a transatlantic flight in 2001, was brought up in Bromley in south-east London...

(si sólo querias foll*r te sobraron las caricias...)

If you consider that there have been an average of 160,000 troops in the Iraq theater of operations during the last 22 months, and a total of 2112 deaths, that gives a firearm death rate of 60 per 100,000.

The rate in Washington D.C. (among others) is 80.6 per 100,000.

That means that you are about 25% more likely to be shot and killed in America's Capitol, which has some of the strictest gun control laws in the nation, than you are in Iraq.

Conclusion: We should immediately pull out of Washington D.C.
