The Stand – The Last Stand. A 1978 book written by Stephen King. A book about a pandemic that is breaking out around the world.
A virus that is breaking out worldwide and depopulating the world. Corpses everywhere you look. Post-apocalyptic micro-states. The book “ The Stand ” by Stephen King depicts the final stand of mankind.
In this book, people now see parallels to the current global situation surrounding the coronavirus. There is one man who can judge this best, namely the author himself.

And that happened on Twitter. Stephen King spoke out on his account. He writes: “No, coronavirus is NOT like THE STAND. It's not anywhere near as serious. It's eminently survivable. Keep calm and take all reasonable precautions.” In German this means “No, the coronavirus is NOT like THE STAND. It's not nearly as serious. It is eminently survivable. Remain calm and take all appropriate precautions.”
This wouldn't be anything special if it weren't for the following answer: “And how the hell would you know?! Did you even read that book?” (And how the hell do you know that?! Have you even read the book?).

Didn't recognize Stephen King?
Did the user SportyBallFan not recognize the author of the book and accuse him of not knowing the content? At least that's how you could interpret it at first glance.
But if you take a closer look, a different picture emerges. SportyBallFan was allowed to know exactly who he was replying to. His answer may have been written intentionally and one can speak of trolling here.

Trolling does not necessarily have to be negative, but can also be humorous. How can you tell that SportyBallFan is a little troll?
It's simple: It says as a description in the account's profile: “Trollin' ain't easy, folks. But, follow me for some really petty jokes, grammatical corrections, and straight up bullshit remarks!”
