Desktop Biodetectors

  6. Announcing my formal backing of the troll party. by All+sporks+are+fags · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Hello, fellow trolls. I've previously trolled as an AC, and felt that now is the time to switch to a real account. My trolling SOP is use of racial slurs, homophobia, and other bigotry, or insulting anything related to the subject matter. One of my accomplishments I'm most proud of was getting 8 posts down in Tuesday's MacOS 10.1 article, before being gang-banged by mods and banned for 72 hours. Partial credit has to go to one mod who mistakenly confused one of my trolls as actual commentary, and modded it up as "Interesting". Propz go out to all dead penis birds, at home and abroad!
