This book was often recommended as a classic back in the day but I haven’t read it. Anyone read it? Is it online culture-war and troll defense grade? Alt recos?

i read it. recommended. it is very careful not to teach offensive techniques. it is part of a series of books on the subject and later ones may have more refined techniques. includes both general ideas and specific how-tos.

online is basically the opposite of real life, in that it blatantly communicates info through the actual language itself. lends itself more to outright aggression and humor

As soon as we write the book on "online convo-fu", it will die.
(because each side will inevitably absorb all the lessons and all battles will result in stalemate)
so.. presumably, there are those who still enjoy this online convo-fu.
