Trolls UNITE!!!

[cotjones 10+ year member]

So I don't really understand the mental processes involved when people troll. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

It would seem that these people have serious mental issues if you really analyse them.

There is simply no purpose it would seem.

Yet sometimes these people seem to be fairly intelligent and deliberate.

It almost seems as if these people are given some sort of compensation for their time spent (in effect) purposely annoying people and usually presenting false ideas or concepts with the intent to incite cognitive dissonance.

However as I see it, the only compensation given to trolls is a sort of half public humiliation and defamation, half humorous anger by those being trolled.

What is going on in your head when you troll?

The theories do all fit perfectly, because when you knowingly pose some absurd position on an issue and are repeatedly contradicted by logical argument, your proselytization of that argument does indeed, increase.

Take Death metal for example.

He was post after post, repeatedly revealed to be an idiotic troll, yet he continued stronger after every contradictory comment until the point it was almost as if he completely ignored logical arguments against him.

So my question is how do you get anything out of this behavior, when all it does is clearly exhibit your lack of intelligent mental processes?

How his that? All I have done is pose a logical discussion of a behavior I wish to understand. The argument calls to question specific behavior and research. I fail to see how this follows under the category of "trolling."

Why would you even bring him up? I haven't seen him post in days, can't we just forget about him?

I suspect that the reason trolls troll is because they can, on the internet, invent a virtual persona with exaggerated negative personality traits.

This, in their own mind, would serve as a diversion from factors in their real perceived self that they view as unfavorable.

I assume this would be somewhat effective then at relieving negative personal judgment. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/ponder.gif.ec2527b23f1d287b60dcbba54f95edba.gif

If it's not him its peterweiner, before them it was faulkton. There will always be trolls. Perhaps Undermining the true logic behind this unwanted behavior might encourage those responsible to stop.

If not, perhaps if the common forum member better understands these people, they will be more prone to avoiding them and feeding the fire.

Oh you mean yourself? of course, that is the only explanation for this brilliant comment.
