Gaining a reputation...

Well, well, well! TFF is beginning to make a few waves on the Blogosphere Ocean.

My comment on Ekapa was described as "part maddening, part hilarious". Sadly, his sycophantic readers weren't so impressed and threatened to mailbomb me with viruses. All 5 of them.
Meanwhile, Chihuahua's Bite devoted a whole post to an exact cut and paste replica of this site.

What can I say? I'm flattered.

He started out describing me as an "anonymous twit", but came round to my way of thinking in the end:

So yes fellow bloggers, this fucker has really impressed me with his style and educated critique. I’m going to be a better person from this day on. I promise Trollmeister, I do.

See? everyone eventually realises I'm talking sense!

Finally, I had a comment on my last post from someone who accused me of posting a comment on her friend's blog and making her "feel like sh#$". I have no idea what comment or what blog, but I would imagine that her blog made me feel pretty much the same way - hence the comment...

What happened this week...

(Or why you shouldn't blog unless you have something interesting to say)

3 things happened this week.

1. It snowed in some bits of the usa.
2. It was April Fool's Day.
3. The clocks went forward in the usa.

How do I know?!? Cos every f*****g blogger is writing about them.

"I thought it was Spring and then it snowed" [whine, moan]

Yeah - I think you'll find that Mother Nature doesn't (and has never) worked to a day-specific schedule when it comes to seasons. You live on the Canadian border and have done for the last 30 years. And this still surprises you.

The best (i.e. worst) April Fool post I saw was one girl who said she'd been robbed and then the next day told everyone it was an April Fool. What's funny about that? She wan't even injured. Boo.

Every yank is complaining that their body can't handle the hour they didn't get in bed. It's a f*****g hour, FFS! 1 hour! 60 minutes! Do you all live your lives by the second over there or something?
"I got up late and missed breakfast cos of Daylight Savings..." [whine, moan]

GOOD! You might lose some weight then, you fat cow.

Tip: If nothing interesting has happened in your sad little lives, don't post on your blog. Your post will be about as original as your sudden realisation that you breath a gas called Oxygen. (Yes, you do, you ill-educated tosspot - now, don't go and write about it...)

So what now?

Well, I've been impressed by the response. Some people actually think this is a good idea. Cool. Can't believe no-one has done it before really. Or maybe they have. Who knows? Who cares?

The plan is to pick one or two sites from each day's trolling and highlight them on here - screenshots maybe or just a link - I haven't really decided.
Look - I have other projects to work on (2 other sites), I have a busy job, I have a family. So I can't be spending all my time on here sorting out the internet's problems. It'll just be as and when I have the time and inclination, OK?

Once again - I'm not out to assassinate anyone here. All I want is to make the internet more reader-friendly and bearable place for your average surfer by pointing out the odd shortcoming or two on sites I stumble across via traffic exchanges (none of which this site is registered on, incidentally). I expect a bit of backchat - I look forward to it, in fact. I want people to respond and do something about tidying their blogs up.
I don't think anyone can help http://puppytoes.typepad.com though. Really.

Why Troll?

People who leave "nasty" comments on other people's blogs ("Trolls") are just exercising their right to free speech and to not have to put up with the dreadful array of blogtrash that's out there. I'm not advocating hate speech, I'm just wanting to read something more intelligent, something better written, something worthwhile and interesting. That is my right as a surfer. I shouldn't have to trawl through all that bad spelling, terrible grammar and same old "I don't like George Bush much" rubbish.

THAT BORES ME!

I've had enough. So welcome to Trolling For Fun. If your blog is crap - I'm going to tell you.
