Drama at WakeWorld

Message boards still have an amazing way of winding people up into a complete and utter tizzy. Anonymity combined with poor writing ability can result in a fireworks display, much less a standard flame war.

Test

Cliff notes:

- Guy switches boat brands, lands deal on a boat he didn't think he could afford

- Forum troll slams original brand, congratulates guy for switching

- Forum troll does what trolls do - trolls more. Trolling succeeds.

- Thread becomes pigpile of anger toward idiot troll, powered by idiot troll, being solid at his 'trade'.

- Slammed brand (by troll) sees executive come to the thread to offer idiot troll candy or a trip to the factory

- Idiot troll says no and gets blasted by most of the community

- And it just keeps going

Sometimes this kind of thing just can't be made up!

Enjoy.
