Tim Starling posted a link to IRC today about
trolls,
and I was interested to see that the kind called
"The
Abstract" fitted Irismeister to a T: http://www.io.com/~zikzak/troll_thesis.html#3.3
This thesis is itself a troll, written by "Amy Dhala" (a pun on "Amidala", a character in the Star Wars universe and frequently the subject of Slashdot trolling posts). Most if not all the data is completely invented. There are many clues throughout the paper, such as "Only 2 people, known as Rob M. and Jeff B. used poppers" in the "drug use" section (Rob Malda and Jeff Bates are the founders of Slashdot).

Erik
So that post about trolling and "The Abstract" was really just a troll who was an abstract? Whoah, man. It's like...the whole universe might be just ONE GRAIN OF SAND, MAN.
Whoah.
