I’m not sure you know what “trolled” means.
it was the O&A reddit before reddit existed.
Here's Louis with a message to Todd.
were you on this at the time or found it later?
what was that?Colin's Caesar Milan joke is one of the best roast bombs of all time.
I was a Usenet troll back in the day. I barely even knew who Louis CK was at the time. Someone else saved all the Louis stuff. I only knew about it because Doug Stanhope posted there.
Todd Barry made the mistake of having an AOL account (which showed up in the headers of posts) instead of using his domain name's e-mail. This caused people to fuck with him on AOL Instant Messenger repeatedly. He also got shit on really bad in the Conan O'Brien newsgroup after some woman described him as icky, and even talked about it on Conan and then went on to do a one man show about it.

I want to know everything there is to know about this "Usenet."
Usenet is reddit from the 1980's. Instead of mods, people would snitch directly to your ISP and you'd get a warning.
