Good work. It's like that beckoning silence ...

"If there’s one thing that's almost certain – nay, guaranteed to rile up the unwashed masses of an online forum, it's trolling. Pages and pages of text have been written all over the World Wide Web lamenting the presence of these characters."

Who are the characters? The trolling. Or the masses?

Or trolls?

Love it. Definitely worthy of the Edited Guide and very funny. I would never try it, of course...

Gnomon - time to move on

I think you should move the definition of trolling out of the footnote into the main text, since it is crucial to the understanding of the entry.

Now I know the entry's arrived. Gnomon's here!

(Honestly, I never feel comfortable about a PR entry until you've popped in and pointed out that I still, five years on, can't use footnotes)

It'll go fine. If we were running a sweep, I'd be happy to have pulled this out of the hat.

2/10 is unnecessarily harsh. Hold your head high, it's a good fun read.

I played it close to the line, and it didn't quite come off. Still Pin got a bit of constructive criticism in there and Rich seemed to like it.

Do you reckon this is ready to go then?

Gnomon - time to move on

I think it is. There are a few curly apostrophes, and a couple of places where double quotes were used instead of single, but these are easily sorted by the sub.
