[...] Punkass Kyso links to a how-to guide to trolling feminist blogs: Step one: Cite Essential Difference. The conversation may have started on unequal pay, sexual violence, or discrimination, but it is your duty to immediately direct the conversation to the fact that women are inherently different from men. This first step is crucial, because everyone knows that essential difference legitimizes and therefore neutralizes oppression. [...]

“et cedro digna locuti ” because if it aint worth the cedar then it is most definitely not worth saying. Furthermore, I have always been fascinating by the power that Stenographers hold in their tiny little tablets as it is always the person who is translating what is said who holds the impact of the words in their hands. The hands must be tiny to write on that thing right? I wonder if there are size limits in the stenography business. I think i will do an expose on this as they are obviously sizeist’s, how dare they discriminate against the man-handed subset of the population.

Do I need to fire my stenographer?

See if you can get a new one from the same place Twisty got Phil.

Hitler and Judy (with a “y”) Garland aside, the post ends with the Monty Python troop. That might be a big give-away that it’s intentionally tongue-in-cheek.

Don’t listen to Chewbacca, Kyso! Start a flame war on my blog! C’mon, I’m game for a flame any time!

Chewy, full of typographical errors? I went through it again and found that indeed, I had typed “relevent” instead of “relevant”. As an underemployed Arts graduate, all I have in life is a false sense of superiority based largely on my verbal/grammatical abilities, and therefore your comment causes me great concern. Seriously, I’m not being sarcastic this time. I’m having an identity crisis here. What else did I do wrong? Do I need to fire my stenographer?

If it is not a joke then I would be surprised. It is full of typographical errors, not to mention pictures of Hitler and if i’m not mistaken Judi Garland. Yes, I could see how someone who is trying to fight the good fight could be put-off by the aforementioned blog, but I think some sage advice would be simply to pick your battles. This may not be worth any of your time or energy, much less deserving of a serious response.

P.S. If it is serious, than rainbow girl is simply an idiot, see above advice. Its kind of a win-win situation.

So noone should ever be sarcastic in case trolls take them seriously?

I think I must have missed what you’re getting at, because that can’t be your point, can it?
