Andy Kaufman
Ayn Rand
Your thoughts?
Andy Kaufman hands down.
The other two weren't trolling, they're just retarded.
Oooh, almost forgot Rael.
He's not a troll either, just a man who knows how to get fuckloads of gullable people to fuck him.
L. Ron Hubbard
Andy, once asked to have the hue changed for his tv show
Vs
LR, turned his target audience into his own private army,
Thirty plus years before even Palahniuk wrote that fucking book
That's hard to decide...
That was my logic for Rand.
That said, Hubbard probably got more inventive.
Also, Rev. Phelps, Jack Chick.
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!!
BAH, yeah im not making any sense. disregard.
Wasn't including nuts, otherwise I would have went with the emperor

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.

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.

Also I do agree that Hubbard is a troll, in some sense.

Alright.
In my lifetime though, I have to say it's probably Anne Coulter.
Does it count as trolling if you're paid to do it?
