| I was looking through The Art of Trolling and half the shots are Omegle and Chatroulette screens of people disconnecting because their partner typed "I own a horse." WTF does that mean and why does everyone flee when you say it? |

I looked into this.
Um the folks at artoftrolling ... I rarely index places and its members but it hardly gets any better than 3 ... out of 100 for intelligent trolling. That's pretty low on my scale.
As far as I can work out, it has been suggested the services have a glitch or cookie, or easter egg that force drops the connection by typing "I own a horse".
Then again who knows.
I looked at the rest of their "superb" trolling efforts ... maybe I'm looking in the wrong place ... and honestly, they have be among some of the dumbest trollers I've ever laid eyes on.

Thanks for your effort.
That's what I thought. Either that or it meant something... 18+.
Interestingly, it seems to work on the Mormon.org missionary chats as well, though that could have been staged, or the Mormon.org staffer could have had a sense of humor, you never know. |

It might have meant something, like an inside joke, but ultimately, completely pointless if it's not actually some "feature" that was designed in or strange bug.
I remember writing with a certain version of "turbo pascal " had that nice feature.
I think some people just go with the flow to look part of the in crowd. I mean I read a heap of their "quips" at " 'some' trolling guide" and they are pathetic.
It's like watching kids lay down fake dog turds on a yard that already has plenty of fresh real ones on it, running away and laughing about it. Most people are like wtf.
Another thing they consider clever is getting people to visit "bad sites" like goate.
Low low low. Not really trolling.

What is this "trolling" of which you speak?
