Notoriety is the oxygen of shills. A shill is a shill, whether corporate or not. But this sentence can also be applied to trolls, which may not be good news for a certain familiar poster if most readers heed this advice. |

Oooppsss!!! |

Oooppsss!!! Oops is right. Unlike shills, trolls aren't in it for money or other bennies. Sometimes they do it because their mental health is a bit lacking, and they crave an abnormal amount of attention. |

Can a Canon D50-owning flak BE any more transparent??? |

So the guy who posted it on dpreview is a troll and so am I for posting it here? You'd be a troll even if DPReview didn't exist. I wouldn't call the guy that posted it a troll. Trolls are defined by more than just the content of any individual posts them make. They (and you) earn the label based on the totality of their posts. That a few may not be as moronic as most doesn't mean that they aren't trolls as well. Your role model (Der Shrub) may occasionally utter a well constructed sentence, but that doesn't prove that he's not a moron or incapable of behaving like a blithering idiot. Can a Canon D50-owning flak BE any more transparent??? What's his login name? CanonA? |
