I am flattered, since I'm sure there are tons of more pleasant people :) Someone told me the Q&A troll would fall asleep during the presentations. Sheesh.

- sgoraya 18y agoMic-Troll FTW!! Thats the first reference I've read about the guy - I was a few rows behind him and yes, he was literally sleeping through presentations until Q/A time. Mic troll, if you're reading this, take it as constructive criticism. Instead of pontificating your point, ask a quick, concise and relevant question.
- rantfoil 18y agoMic troll was definitely cringeworthy.
- frankus 18y agoI commented thusly on the site as well, but it bears repeating: A friend of mine used to joke about rewriting the rules of discourse during Q&As so that instead of this: (P = presenter, T = troll) P: “Any questions? … Yes?” T: “Have you considered the effects of aliasing?” P: “We’re using a bicubic blah blah blah…” You would have this: P: “Any questions or comments? … Yes?” T: “I know about aliasing.” P: “Thank you.”
- dfranke 18y agoBy the time you slapped him down I had completely tuned the guy out. It wasn't until after the applause that I realized he had even gotten up.
