it's fun when it's funny. trolling for jokes is great... the skrillex stolen tune bit was fantastic. It was parody. It was comedy.
trolling and being obvious and attempting to prove a point is sad. When it's blatant and the target sees your troll and a dialogue comes out of the troll it is in turn a failure. Even more of a failure when the original troll thinks this is somehow awesome, even though their target has become aware of the troll and the troll wall has been broken.
Our forum does a great bit of awesome trolling. Very unique and very creative trolling. When you try and troll a topic you actually have convictions about it's usually because you don't have the ability to argue your point. People who troll in political threads do so because they have weak arguments, those who do it in music threads do so because they really can't argue any merit outside of it's just their opinion.
Not anti-trolling just set the bar fairly high for acknowledging an awesome troll job. Also trolling for anything other than the lulz is instant fail. Trying to prove a point with the troll is /facepalm
it's so scientifical
