The NYT Mag Gets Trolled

Hey, Matt Schwartz has an enormous article about Internet trolling in this Sunday’s New York Times Magazine. It even mentions an hero! And weev from livejournal! Here’s the best part:

Zeno of Elea, Socrates and Jesus, Weev said, are his all-time favorite trolls.

There’s also a character who shouts racial slurs at white people on the street! The article’s actually pretty interesting, though it is still a long story about the Internet. But at least it wasn’t the one from the previous week about how we should try to lose the war in Afghanistan just so we can say we were tough on drugs.

State police have busted a dude with a collection of child porn apparently by using tactics from the Book of ChrissMari:

BENSALEM - State police have busted another alleged child porn collector in Bucks County after trolling the Internet.

They managed to catch the dude after countless hours spent telling newbies to go back to other forums, telling bloggers their blogs aren’t as good as they used to be and exhorting the candidacy of Ron Paul.
