What's your Favorite Troll Moment on QZ?

Once i had a butterfly, don't know which way or whatever why
Then i started the whole town rocking,
in fact rocking so much, it got a little out of hand, and pretty soon the loons with the
boom sticks showed up, but we passed him some booze after our lady friend answered the door with her ta tas in his face
now he's one of the boys.

SO i  was saying, in the event that trolls don't get their due. What sayest you?

I can't decide.

TQ's had a lot of posts...  you mean pick one?

Sure, it'd be great to reference one that just brought down the house.

On a side note, i was thinking of starting a troll community on this post: but then realized that without a "Straight Man" (as in Comedy)... to fire off of, trolling becomes kinda difficult.

Kinda like the bully without the kid in a duran duran shirt.

or put to the modern era:

"Like a bully without the kid in a Dappy Shirt"

i just find it really strange, the guy looks like a wannabe thug span that came from the US... but i'm talking about the late 90's

is there any truth to the idea that the UK is 10 years behind the US on "cultural" stuff like music and fashion?

I feel sorry for the UK right now... i thought things were bad over here... but seeing dappy... that thing almost made me want to laugh... but i couldn't.

I've been posting on here a while, it'd be hard to pick my best.

Transparent layer on everything!!!!!

our first introduction to treasure(d) mementus.

Then there was that time when 6 or 7 treasure moments were posting things,

community (goodol'fashionedloverboy, Burt from England and so on) has been pretty funny.

remember the guy who used to post long LONG poems? And after freaking the entire QZ community out (well, some of us anyway), he asked to stay with people when he travelled around the states?
If i remember right, there was also a fake Yara, who posted something so incredibly out of character for Yara that it was really obvious, but it was a good attempt.

Once, about seven years ago maybe, there was a woman here who created this thread about how she was going to be homeless, and she wanted a bunch of people to donate money to her. The thread grew to about fifty pages long. The whole thing was a lie, I believe.

That whole thing was Freya's idea.

So many thrills in a Greg Brooks thread.

I loved the repetition, not just in his use of repetition for comedic writing but also in his personality. Sometimes it was hypnotic. Greg would always start with pleasant news or a polite request or trying to be amusing in some way. Within one or two posts someone would insult Greg. Greg would then take on each insulting person with an over the top negative character assessment and then he would start new threads about his reaction to one person's comment in another thread. Some of his threads would get moved from the serious forum to the personal forum. I got a kick out of it.

When the majority of the people in qz waited with abated breath while jss pondered over who could upload his copy of the bbc sessions, andreas mercury butted in to ask why jss could not upload the tapes himself.  He got himself into everybody's firing zone for that distraction from the discussion.

I'm not aware of a single post of yours that doesn't qualify as trolling. Sadly, none of them would ever rank as anyone's favorite in any category.

Great - this is leading up to another favourite troll momento !

Everyone's forgotten Jake Britt?

And there was this guy called Skip who was bent on converting Queenzone into Kisszone.

I remember you mentioning that you thought his writing was comedic in the past.  It's funny how subjective funny is.  To me the stuff he churns out is absolutely tortured, and funny only by accident and only very rarely.  But I think you're funny.  And you think he's funny.  So one would think in theory that perhaps you and I should appreciate similar styles.  But to me it was just entirely average and thoroughly and unpleasantly affected.   The aftermath was kind of amusing, but only for the reliably jaw dropping degree to which he is willing to make himself appear a complete twat on the internet.

Must be hard for you to accept that I would be #1 troll, then....  since you speak for the entire community.

Thank you, thank you all.  I couldn't have done it without the following people:   TQ
