Trolling and Lurking just go hand-in-hand. Sometimes you'll come across a topic or post so asinine you can't help but want to aggravate everyone who tries to legitimately comment.
If you get really good at trolling and making outlandish claims that can't be DISproven you can get a job as a FOX news pundit, oh no I didn't. Yes I did, Glenn Beck is a troll.

Trolls just wanna have fun ...
They get lolz because they feel superior to people when they mess with their heads or make them mad. Same thing that drives pranksters. Prank calling someone or TPing their house or whatever is fun for some people, it's the same kind of thing.

I can't troll. I'm just too nice I think.
But when someone trolls me, I enjoy it. I love counter trolling.
You know, pointing out spelling mistakes, lapses of logic. It works so well, you can annoy the troll to the point of them leaving.

They are the curators of the wonderful bastion of online cruelty known as the The Art of Trolling. It will function as the guidebook to human torment for our future machine overlords.

I've trolled a couple times before (well outside of the Escapist, don't cut me please), been trolled, altogether it's all just for fun. Obviously it pisses off a lot of people though...

Trolls exist simply to get attention. They don't care what kind, just attention. Trolls especially love it when you get really angry, because they have accomplised their two goals
1. Attract attention
2. Make someone angry, thereore giving them more attention.
Usually this cycle repeats until the troll is banned or satisfied.
Trolls here love the R&P section

(They) Create topics with two vastly different sides. Pick the least favorable one and argue to the death.
Trolls should not be confused with those who simply are ignorant of a topic.

Trolls are inconsistent peices of garbage.
They just love making people want to crusifie their dogs puppies.
The indulgent bastards!
All they care about is attention. No matter what kind of attention it is.
I once recall seeing someone post something along the lines of (On Youtube)
"I don't understand the point of these videos." And some stuff like that. The owner replied
"Your opinion, your option."
I checked back a day later, almost every single comment for the next 3 pages were trolling this guy.

I think some trolls are people that just post something stupid, but then they go with it. Like "yea I meant to say something that stupid, I'm jus trollin u gaiz lulz!" Now no one knows that I really just asked a stupid question!
This right here sums it up. They'll keep doing it as long as they can get a rise out of you. If you ignore them or don't respond, they'll start getting pissed off and find someone else to annoy the shit out of. When this occurs just use the mute and ignore option on your email, instant msg, and online chat options. Responding to them just keeps them going.Dusk17 said:
People Troll because it's really [i/]really[/i] fun. I always love it when there is a successful one here. It doesn't happen very often, but when it does it just makes my day.
