I was (friendly) trolling a colleague who's very entrenched into Java World. The troll started as a genuine attempt to suggest a new tech he'd like; Scala. Turned out he wasn't interested at all, but the gag kept rolling about him learning Scala.
I got the idea that I could get a bunch of people to go and endorse him for Scala on LinkedIn. The (far fetched) goal being that he'd inadvertently accept the endorsement and end up returning in the top results for local Scala experts.
So I went and endorsed him for that. He didn't fall for it. However I also endorsed other colleagues. One of them caught on the troll and endorsed me back for 'Genocide' and a bunch of atrocities.
Maybe people are just trolls like I am and endorse OP for the sake of lulz.
