Everyone that has debated online has come across them: the trolls<\/a>… the Phelps<\/a> of forum debate… those that are living breathing proof of the Dunning-Kruger effect<\/a>. And when it comes to haters of nuclear power, there certainy is alot of them!<\/p>\n

They normally piss me off something immensely. But in two particular instances, I was inspired. I noticed that the trolls in question had lots of ads on their blogs where they did their inflammatory postings. And with that, a riff got stuck in my head.<\/p>\n

So the next time you find yourself deadlocked against some troll that seems more impervious to logic, reasoning and science based fact than a vogon<\/a> is to water, just hum this to yourself.<\/p>\n

Enjoy. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

You can find the music for listening on Spotify<\/a>\u00a0(requires client)\u00a0or Grooveshark<\/a>\u00a0(web-based).<\/p>\n
