Oh dear Carol,
May I cite to you from the everloving
Wikipedia article on Internet Trolls...
Quote:
For many people, the characterising feature of trolling is the perception of intent to disrupt a community in some way. Inflammatory, sarcastic, disruptive or humorous content is posted, meant to draw other users into engaging the troll in a fruitless confrontation. The greater the reaction from the community the more likely the user is to troll again, as the person develops beliefs that certain actions achieve his/her goal to cause chaos. This gives rise to the often repeated protocol in Internet culture: "Do not feed the trolls."

Eight pages worth of troll feasting... pwned we were as surely as anything.
It makes the poem that much richer.
To laugh at ourselves is the greater education.
[edit: man, I'm even talkin' like a frikkin' poet now!!!! right on...]
