Trolls are pervasive throughout the internet, and I usually get a kick out of them. There are a few exceptions to this. I don't like the trolls who kick people when they are down. Can't you just give a guy a break? I see someone post something about having a horrid life and trolls capitalize on their misery to belittle them. This is just victimizing the weak; c'mon at least pick a worthy adversary. Another is when the trolls make fun of a decision that the poster made, but the troll is totally wrong about the facts in their opinion. I can't think of a post per se , but I did have an experience with this playing cards a couple weeks ago at the casino. I was playing blackjack and I was dealt a 10 and a 2 and the dealer was showing a 2 (this is known as the dealer's ace), and when the dealer shows a 2 amongst other combos the player SHOULD take the hit. Well these so called 'experienced' players would rush to my aid telling me to not hit, and belittling me after the play didn't work and the hit had put me over 21. This just bugs the heck out of me. I am not sure why 'cause it doesn't effect me in any way.
Another annoying habit of the trolls is to belittle a poster and use the wrong variation of a word in they''re rant to make the poster the but of there jokes.
(See it is just plain stupid :D )
They're vs Their vs There
They're = A contraction between "they" and "are" "They're going out."
Their = Indicates possession (plural) "Their shoes are wet."
There = Refers to distance "Go over there."
It's vs Its
It's = A contraction between "it" and "is" "It's hot outside."
Its = Indicates possession "Floating across its surface."
Than vs Then
Than = Refers to a comparison "I'm taller than you."
Then = Used to indicate a subsequent event "I went then you went."
You're vs Your
You're = A contraction between "You" and "are" "You're forgetting something."
Your = Indicates possession "Your memory is poor."
Affect vs Effect
Affect = A verb "It affected everyone."

Willing to relocate for the right job.
- Harlan W. Olsen
- Whatcom County, Pacific NW, United States
- I am currently seeking employment in the IT field. You can review my resume in your preferred format at the bottom of this page. I have been working in IT since I took my internship in the beginning of 2007. At the end of my internship, the 'real' Administrator gave his notice. I then had the wonderful experience of becoming the Systems Administrator, and that is when I really got the opportunity to to see 400% growth in the company in under six months! In a mission critical environment, there is a sense of urgency that school just doesn't have. With such a rise there was inevitably a fall, and I was phased out. I believe that as a sole administrator for a multi-site company helped to accelerate my learning,and I am more experienced than my years in IT would indicate.
