Troll Wildlife Refuge (Sockittome Usnet Gen Medieval Trollitus)

Attention usenet visitors. This area has been declared a troll
wildlife refuge. To learn about the troll, its habitat, and its way of
life, please read the sign-post below. If you would like to learn more
about the troll, you can pick up books and souvenirs in the gift shop
at the end of the tour. Thank you in advance for observing all troll
wildlife refuge rules. Have a nice day.

Physical Characteristics
The common woodland troll (Trollus Useneticus) is an approximately
1.7m long nocturnal furry creature that has been found to exist in
nearly every climate and latitude. Predominant features includea very
pale complexion, a large bony ridge above the eyes, a dense cranium,
dragging knuckles, and a pungent odor.

Habitat
Most trolls spend the daylight hours under a large rock sleeping.
Unfortunately, the natural habitat of the troll has been encroached by
development (as is all too common these days). The modern troll has to
make due with a slimy, moss covered rock. Often, trolls are forced to
endure poor sanitation and filthy living conditions. Combined with the
general lack of hygiene among trolls, this results in a very
unpleasant odor.

Activities And Diet
During their active period at night, the common troll engages in
numerous activities, though the most important of these is foraging
for food. The one characteristic that ties all different troll species
and sub-species together is their diet. Trolls invariably survive off
of a combination of cheetos, arguments, and annoying others. A typical
troll requires approximately 10 arguments and flames per day just to
stay alive. With the increasing use of killfiles and just regular
ignoring of trolls, it has become more and more difficult for trolls
to eke out a basic sustenance.

Known Predators
Unfortunately, trolls have many predators. Most common among them are
the helpful researcher, the informative poster, the cool headed
responder, and the kill-filer. The cool header responder is
technically not a troll predator however. Trolls are typically unfazed
by logical counter arguments and cool headed reason. However, even
though their posts do not deliver the same level of sustenance that a
"flamer" or an "annoyed poster" may provide, they still provide a
valuable source of dietary fiber for the troll. The most dangerous
predators for the trolls are the helpful researcher, the informative
poster, and the kill-filer. The common troll is highly allergic to
fact, real data, and research. Upon skin contact with actual hard
evidence and real data, the troll will experience intense itching and
burning at the site of contact, followed by lesions and blisters.
Eventually, this results in loss of skin near the area of contact, and
usually to loss of a limb (in the example of contact near the arm or
leg). Contact with facts and data near the facial area usually results
in a slow painful death. Contact with extremely high doses of fact and
hard data can cause temporary loss of consciousness and even permanent
brain damage for the troll. The kill-filer poses a much more
insidious threat to the troll. Not posing a direct threat to the troll
per se, the kill-filer simply deprives the troll of yet another source
of nourishment. Some trolls have developed counter measures to thwart
the kill-filers, usually this takes the form of a type of camoflage.
The trolls' predators have reaped a terrible slaughter over the years,
resulting in the death of great hordes of trolls. Trolls continue to
breed rapidly though and their population is stable. However, it is
unknown how long this situation can persist. Eventually, natural
predators and poachers may result in lower numbers of trolls. Already
we are seeing lower diversity among the different troll species. That
is why this troll habitat refuge exists, to ensure the preservation of
the troll for not only our future, but the future of our children.

Sock Puppet Trollery
This troll habitat refuge has been paid for in part by the Anti Troll-
Defamation League, the International Society for the Advancement of
Trolls, and the Troll Habitat Preservation Alliance.
