But, all those OTHER guys weren't trolls, they're just crazy!!  :argh!:

Trolling is a art form, not to be given cred to the biggest nutcases in history!!

Agreed, to be considered a troll one must be doing it on purpose to annoy people.  I think L. Ron Hubbard counts in that regard.

In a nutshell- he did it for the money. Maybe doesn't count as trolling, but shows that he did it deliberately and not because he was nuts.

My first thought was "Jesus", too. But then I read this and yeah, I gotta go with socrates.

I dunno, both of those tards had a chance to flee and they both opted to die.

Kind of like Poptard, in that respect, willfully destroying their account—kind of besmirches their ubertroll status IMO.

If L. Ron Hubbard wasn't a classic troll, then define troll and explain how he didn't fit the bill, since we're suddenly taking this topic seriously.

I always figured a troll was someone who deliberately pissed people off to laugh at their reactions.

Their deaths were part of their trolling act, though.  By dieing for the beliefs publicly, they both inspired thousands of years of copycats, thereby ensuring that their target audience would continue to be trolled long past a normal human lifespan.  Destroying your account is different - it ends the troll.  Making the admins ban you and having your supporters spin that in your favor is a standard trolling technique.
