I'm just so sick of so-called "smart" nerd writers thinkin that there all hella cool because they use big words. OOooooooooooooooo... You're sooooo smart. I like minimalism and transgressional, which was invented by Chuck, because those are books for a normal guy like me.

In all honesty, it really sounds like this is coming from a place of ignorance. It sounds as though you're ragging on people who use big words because you don't understand them and you're either too lazy or too stubborn to learn them. I don't know what it is, but whining about big words and dismissing great writers because they're work is too tough to read is just ridiculous, because I don't believe for a second that you'd be ranting like this if you understood those words.

Look can't we just have a nice conversation? I'm not attacking you, why you attacking me?

I'm just sayin that writers who write big elaborate descriptions with too much detail and too many words, like Joyce, Chaucer + Suglia, are closet nerds. They wish they could be 1/2 the writer that Chuck is.

quit encouraging the troll, there is really no point in trying to have a logical argument with him.

If you ignore him he might go away.

Joyce has a twitter account and some of his tweets are so bad that Miley Cyrus could out-tweet him.

You should not poop upwards..

..Yeah, I know it's a troll and all that. On a different Troll-topic though, watch the movie "Trolljegeren" or "the troll hunter" but don't read anything about it before you do, it's not a "great" movie, but it's a good movie - and the less you know about it when you see it the better it will be.

Would pooping upwards be, you, upside down and the poop comes out of you and up into the air or would it mean as you're squatting over the commode the poop goes up instead of down while it's still inside you to where the poop ends up coming out of your mouth? I guess that way would be pooping backwards, rather than upwards.

J.G. fucking Ballard is a pretty decent example of a lame nerd writer. Some douche who writes like a 12yr old with a thesaurus. He tries so hard to be smart but he's just another Chuck wannabe.

I read Crash by J.G. Ballard and I had one or two theories on that idea. I could tell that Ballard just read Fight Club and thought "hey i can be just like Chuck and be all transgressional!" But I'll throw in some fancy ass words...

Face it. Ballard will never be as good as Chuck.

Nerd writers suck ass.

There's nothing in that statement to soil Troll 2. Even if you somehow like Troll 2, then all I'm saying is Troll Hunter is that much better.
