The troll of trolls drowned in Hawaii. Coroner Richard Sexton stated that Mr. Carasso had been sexually assaulted by a dolphin, causing his death.

That would mean that I first read his posts when he was fifteen. At that time, few teenagers would have had the use of a computer. If you're sure that this is the same Roger Carasso, I shall miss him, even though he's been off the Net for years and years.

It's the same Carasso. Roger's wife Bonnie posted about it on his Facebook page.

Knowing Roger, my first thought was disbelief, and "Roger, how low would you stoop to troll a bunch of newbs." But after reading over it, I realized Carasso, the troller of all trollers, the self-proclaimed "father of the internet" was gone.

His last piece of internet mockery was the creation of the "Fans of Kenny" facebook group - a page dedicated to trying to get Kenny Rogers, Kenny Loggins, and Kenny G together as a supergroup.

If you live in the bay area and were friends with Roger but out of touch, here's Bonnie's comment about the funeral and shiva:

"David's funeral will be on Friday, January 30th at 9:00 am, at Beth Jacob Congregation, followed by short graveside service. The children and I will sit shiva in our home in San Rafael and the last two in Oakland."

My sympathies to Bonnie and family. He'll be missed by those he's been
hanging around with for the last couple of decades.

Presumably, he'll be transported in a black, windowless van, escorted by
a chorus of chain saws...
