- Jesin 18y agoHey, troll or not, it's an interesting question. Have you read the other responses? Most are coherent and many are actually quite insightful.
- eb 18y agoI find it amusing that this site is so concerned with quality yet when such an obvious troll comes by, you're all blinded by your admiration for pg. Way to feed the trolls. I guess we know what Hacker News' kryptonite is.
- jacobolus 18y agoThe question is, what is an “obvious troll”, and when has it achieved its ends? I would argue that the purpose of “trolling” is to derail an otherwise fruitful discussion or forum, causing it to devolve into pointless flaming. Given that this discussion a) stayed respectful, and b) was generally insightful, I'd say that at best, this was a completely ineffective “troll”.
