Fascinating.There are two characters who frequent the england chatroom, both considered trolls to some extent.
Thing is, they both have a bizarre way with language.
One... the original is utterly surreal. You have to really warp your mind to get even a hint of his meaning... but there is meaning, however obscure. I've come to admire this character as something of a walking work of art. He'll always cause problems and always get himself kicked out... but I can't help liking him.
The other is a wannabe. He has aped the original's use of language to some degree, making it very difficult to grasp quite what it is he's trying to say. The difference is, he actually *is* trying to say something that people would understand, and when you figure out what it is, you see that he's just a miserable malcontent... a whiner.
Now for the longest time I've wondered what would happen if these two should ever actually meet in the channel. Would they have some bizarre and surreal, unintelligable conversation?
Well, tonight it happened, and the result was fascinating.
The original saw the wannabe for exactly what he was and in his own obscure and surreal way, ripped the wannabe a new asshole.
Brilliant entertainment.
