I didn't downvote you. Two thoughts:

1. I read the whole thing three times and I still don't really understand what your objective is.... and do you actually know the purpose of the trolling thread or not. The purpose is to have fun and pretend one as a student who is under some stress and is trying to figure out some funny yet creative ways to brain fuck with the TA or professor. Even if it receives F, whatever.

> Treat resources as sincere, and those who wish to abuse them for temporary short term gain will, and I am very confident about this, end up fucking themselves over.

Well, most of the questions we ask on the Internet are really for short-term gain anyway. We hope someone could tell us why the fuck the X.so file is not linked and we move on afterward.

Most of the answers are actually not some quick jerky answers. people actually took time to write them. And in the process of writing an answer, the author learns. Ever heard of "one teaches, two learns?"

2. Why so serious? The Internet is full of shit half of the time. Wasting 100MB in the database for 100 trolling answers isn't going to kill some hungry child in Africa.



I'm probably so serious because it seems like so many other people are so dismissive :)
