sigh.

Okay, I'll try to help.

Okay, first...the VERY first thing you do, is come in, in a way, that will catch people off guard. It helps to be confusing with a touch of humor. Get all that in the title. Follow the rules. Capitalize every word.

Then, you cut to the chase.

Miep :: How To Write A Troll Diary
Jump right into something that sounds like what people on the blog talk about a lot. Write about that for a couple of paragraphs. Then attack it for about a sentence or two. Skip to the extended text then.

Then, go find some really wonderful offbeat YouTubes you've been keeping handy. Really offbeat stuff. It should be really creative but somewhat offensive, and also kind of funny.

Then continue to discuss, but totally change the subject. Rant to some extent. Describe general types of people on the blog who routinely drive you up the fucking wall. Plead to them to relieve you from your torment. Do not name any names. Make up weird names that are vaguely suggestive of the people you are angry at.

Talk about how much it pains you to write this essay. Then point out that you're really hoping that many will suffer greatly as they begin to understand how evil it was of them to give you such pain.

Find some really weird photos on Photoshop. Post them. Include captions (I've heard you can do that using table macros). Say very cold hostile things.

End up with a lift of humor. Go get some of those really weird anarchist madman quotes you've been saving - just a few, the really scary ones. Put them in Gothic fonts, stuff like that. Post them at the end. Last line is "We Will Not Forget."

Then you post the tip jar. The tip jar will be very long, and it will include all sorts of occluded hints about your next avatar name and intentions.

Have fun! You know I love you all. I'm only trying to help. We all know that troll diaries are a part of life. Since that's the case, why not get together and turn this into a real art form?

You can do it!

Srsly, if y'all can't do better than that last lame effort, I may have to go find another troll blog to hang on.

I would have commented in your dk version.  But it is too late, for that.

Actually, I have came to the conclusion that this is not a troll site at all.  Now TBM and SPM, those are troll sites.

btw:  The only real troll we have had here(other than Noom's attempts) does not see the art of the craft.  He was just an evil bastard that tried to fuck with people in real life.  Alas, the bastard is probing me elsewhere as we speak.  I do not care.  But should I remind him that I know who he is, too.  What he thinks he knows, he doesn't know.

Cheers!

You need a lover, don't you?

I do, we all do.

It's sad the shit we have to go through to find one.

And so hard to find the right person. It's not like one can just go out and randomly select someone.

Meanwhile, some easier to find some friends, and say hey; I know just what you're talking about; what a bitch it is to be alone, not to have a life.

That's okay; that works some. That's where I live. It helps to be able to say that's where I live. It takes some stress off.

cfk's troll diary example (6.00 / 1)
This is elegant. Another good example of class troll essays.

It is pretty clear here that some of you are friends and some of you are not.

Some of you think that the bar is too high and some think the bar is too low and some of you think the bar is in the pub next door.

Some of you are the most elite of elite and you snub me at every chance because I voted for the prune last time and you won't admit I was right.

Those who have been warning you all day and night have not been listened to so here is one last chance.

Check out this list of 1000 impressive sites that will set you on the path to enlightenment.

There is a cozy little group here who are about to disappear my comments, but someday they, too, will be flamed.  Just watch and see!

I dare you to tell the truth, oh, DKos wrath tellers.  The truth!!!

I alone know the truth and you can stuff the ceiling cat photos where the light doesn't shine.

Remember me...

"Our purpose is aligning culture to human nature."

Just to be clear (3.00 / 1)
employing a few or even many of those methods does not a troll diary make.

Most of those methods are just things that would shake up a conservative person (not in the political sense).  People that I consider to be needing a little lightening up.  That's why PFF was read by so many, but few admitted it, IMHO.  

Blogs should be left for real people to be real.  They shouldn't be run by those that think that real life is like a judges court.  Things change in the world when the ideas run from mouth to ear uninhibited, even when the ear protests.  Most people I've met need some kind of intervention about some thing.  That's always going to be uncomfortable for those assholes, so let them know from the start what they've got coming.  :D

Most people are idiots... But don't tell them. It'll spoil all the fun for those of us who aren't.  Vision flows where you decide to let it.  Same as it ever was.

I just got banned from a third blog when I'd barely started out, and they wouldn't tell me why.  I emailed to to ask why, and I've gotten no response, which means that they're blowing me off completely.  Oh, well.
