rarely have i seen such wisdom.

my stupid? your stupid!

Is this feature supposed to incite the trolls to only post here, or is it going to be a sort of hall of fame of trollery?

Singling trolls out in this way will only inspire them to greater heights. Since the identity system is trivially hackable, I don't see that this is a good idea.

Except for the last entry, they are pretty clever. We get much worse every day, out in the real world.

Is that the reality of stupid Con trolls is usually much, much more ridiculous than any parody we could dream up...

I think collecting this stuff is a great idea. Maybe the Salon alchemists should think of a way to have this crap generate something besides pageviews. How about this: once you've collected enough, ship it off to Richard Lederer or Funny Times and they'll make books and t-shirts out of it generating lot of income for Salon so they can drop subscription fees attracting even more trolls to generate even more of this crap... Wow, a perpetual crap machine. Enough of this and Salon might actually start to smell like The Onion.

Gently reeling in the fish, like catching an eight pound bass on a five pound test line.

Once you have them reeled in, then you net them..

They don't even know what's happening until they are in the cooler on ice.

....get this stuff daily.

Perhaps you didn't mean to butcher our English grammar, but unless you're using street syntax (as in "my bad") the title should have been "You're Stupid."

It's a little bit scary to think I can now be lambasted in the letters section myself.

But I think I'll just take the troll's attitude: if people are talking about ME, then WHAT"S THE PROBLEM???!!!

HAHAHAHA!

Then you'll understand the title.

I really hate the your/you're mistake.

The trolls around here seem intellectual by comparison. That parody is genius. Thank you. I needed that laugh!

These are overly cute. People are dumber than this.

>>I really hate the your/you're mistake.

"I really hate the your/you're mistake."

It's not a mistake. It's a joke.

I know it's a joke! Somebody else didn't get it, and I was explaining.
