For some reason technology websites are very easy to troll. Atheism-themed websites are so easy to troll it's slightly embarrassing.

I have found websites devoted to physical fitness and bodybuilding are much harder to troll than average. I would have thought that "smarter" (maybe just more nerdy?) groups would recognize trolling more or at least have more experience dealing with trolls.

Uhm, looks good as invertible fact, by the way.

If there were solid data on the trollability of the various forums, that would probably qualify. As it is, I'd bet the bodybuilding.com forum is hard to troll because they're well-innoculated; the place is like a secondary /b/. Where the norm is more serious debate, violating that norm in a provocative way will be easier.
