Here is a humourous dialogue on this that is being distributed on [[Overnet]]: | |||
----------- | |||
WHERE TROLLS COME FROM | |||
System administrator: My systems administration skills give me insight | |||
also into real life! I believe that Pi can be set equal to 3.1 without | |||
difficulty. Unnecessary digits will be removed whenever I notice them, | |||
and offenders who claim they are required will be punished. | |||
Ordinary user: Well, my skills as an engineer can't really be used if | |||
I try to pretend Pi=3.1, so in the articles I edit it will be set to | |||
3.1415926536... and there will be a note that says that it is actually an | |||
irrational number. | |||
System administrator: Irrational number! No such thing! Like Pythagoras | |||
and his students I should have you drowned in a barrel for making such a | |||
claim! But since I am merciful I will merely block your IP number and set | |||
Pi back rightfully to 3.1 as has been declared rightful by our GodKing. | |||
And do not return, you troll! | |||
Ordinary user, now a troll: Well, I have many IP numbers and here I am | |||
back again. I have fixed the article to undo your "sysop vandalism" and | |||
I hope you will realize that you do not know everything, despite your | |||
exalted systems administrator status. And yes, I suppose I am a troll | |||
since a troll is defined as "someone who actually wins Internet arguments" | |||
and thereby forces administrators to block them. | |||
System administrator rants, raves, invents power structures, hierarchies, | |||
and other nonsense to justify continued witchunts and technological | |||
escalations... | |||
