I will admit to playing devils advocate from time to time, but I will also admit that it is very disheartening when nobody stands up to yell at your, or worse, agrees with the evil views which you wrote. <br /><br />I did a lot of trolling when I was younger, to me it was a kind of protest. The establishment wants you to believe that it controls the web, not the people. Sometimes you just have to make a point by posting porn in strange places, the sicker the better. <br /><br />In regards to trolling individuals, that is a form of protest too. I was angry about a lot of stuff, and I really didn't understand why nobody else was freaking out. How can people spend their lives with their heads up their butts? I know that answer now, I had driven myself pretty insane. People need to vent and look away from the violence and horror that surrounds us, but that is the deal. The troll isn't truly attacking you as an individual, he is screaming at you because the world is a horrible place and you only appear to think about D&D. It is a challenge, he is sounding you and seeing how deep you are. It is frightening, but many people aren't all that complex. They really are just as ignorant, self-obsessed, and utterly empty as they project. To a troll, those people are the slaves of the establishment. Thinking what they are told to think, saying what they are told to say, being what they are told to be and never questioning anything. They are the enemy of mankind, and must be woken up.<br /><br />I don't know if you've found this post helpful or not, but I hope that it does give you some insight into the motivations of others. Not to say that you ever had to deal with a troll, because honestly, most of the people who say stupid and offensive garbage truly are stupid and offensive.

Add the anonymity of individuals on internet needing to create a stir - not good mix. Maybe it's because we can't say these things in real life? Very frustrating.ShadowStalkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16480113888784081027noreply@blogger.com
