My “deliberately trying to be annoying and offensive”, as you put it,
can be likened to, say, the beautiful pussy Hypathia. She got dragged
naked to death by the Christans.

You can see a naked picture of her at:

i can't say it's a achievement or not. It's odd to even think of it
that way. In fact, the very existance of the concept, and the term,
“troll”, i take to be socially damaging. For detail, see:

magic a scissor i wish
so sharp and so cross
so that i can chop
chop off brainless heads

i would like to swing
a giant ax swing
off with their heads
of priests and deans

evil wish i be
hatred i behold
the righteous and the main
torture with no death
befalls to them

O Tim, ease up on painting me.

Check out this article:
