The problem with joking and being serious at the same time is that 
you're pretty much guaranteed to be misunderstood.

If Juxho actually objects to having us steer trolls his way, then we 
should respect that. From looking at Consumerium, along with what other 
people had to say, I had the impression that he's relatively accepting 
of them. But I can also see that this is a small wiki still trying to 
find its identity.

Anyway, if Consumerium or some other site does really become a 
TrollWiki, it could be useful in providing an outlet to divert some of 
the pressure that occasionally builds up around here.
