Young, educated coastal people who self-declare as conservatives are generally trying to forge their own way and piss someone off. Those traits seem like they would correlate with the traits that make entreprenurs successful as well. Of course, for every Ayn Rand-reading DoubleClick guy, there's a Jeff Bezos. So while it's an interesting correlation, I wonder if the data is really there to suggest any predictive value.<BR/><BR/>By implying a predictive value (hang out with College Republicans if you want to find entrepreneurs), you seem to be overstating the case in exactly the same way that the wingnut blogosphere does, thus your troll war.<BR/><BR/>--Matt, East Coast LiberalAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2460005.post-9231870193553717802007-03-02T06:51:00.000-08:002007-03-02T06:51:00.000-08:00Alex,Sorry, I should explain. When I use the term...Alex,<BR/><BR/>Sorry, I should explain. When I use the term "insane troll logic," I'm not using the term in the sense of the typical Internet troll. It's actually an obscure pop-culture reference to "Buffy the Vampire" slayer.<BR/><BR/>In one episode, Xander's girlfriend Anya's former boyfriend shows up--an actual troll, played by longtime character actor Abraham Benrubi. At one point, the troll tells Xander that because the troll likes him, he gets to choose whether the troll kills his girlfriend or his best friend Willow.<BR/><BR/>When Xander responds, "What kind of insane troll logic is that?" the troll breaks his arm with a large mallet.<BR/><BR/>At any rate, I use the term insane troll logic to refer to the inexplicable way in which people believe in illogical things (as opposed to the Internet usage of trolls who go around deliberately trying to provoke a Godwin's Law incident).<BR/><BR/>For more on insane troll logic and when I started using it in my blog, see my original post on this:<BR/><BR/>http://chrisyeh.blogspot.com/2006/09/insane-troll-logic-of-barbara.htmlUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03897761440102487636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2460005.post-73402601342129561392007-03-01T21:02:00.000-08:002007-03-01T21:02:00.000-08:00Well you're being a bit unfair in calling him a tr...Well you're being a bit unfair in calling him a troll. I mean, I know internet trolls, and that guy is a saint in comparison. <BR/><BR/>However, I totally agree that people who let their emotions, or even worse politically charged emotions, dictate their logic are annoying.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
