Trolls are normal users with nothing that interests them and no projects to do, or no money to do them with.
Keep busy folks, fear the dreaded disease of Trollism.

Irritating people is a project for some, sadly.
Why do Internet trolls exist? Study says they’re sadists in real life | BGR
Yes. Hannibal Lecter is a troll. And a good one. Hell, read the script to "Silence of the Lambs" and it could read like any MENSA-card toting know-it-all troll off of the technical forums. 
Do you still hear those lambs screaming, Clarice? |

I have friends who have been banned for trolling. Doesn't stop me from shooting them a PM or e-mail every now and then when I need a resource person for an article.  |

Too often, someone labelled a "troll" has done nothing more than tell YOU (collective) something that you did NOT want to hear or acknowledge.

Very often true. Similarly some will cry that someone with whom they disagree is being offensive. As if their being "offended" gives them the right to call for the silencing of someone, while using that as a lame excuse.
It reminds me of when my kid was about 4 years old, and would say "Mommy make him STOP" when she found my comments uncomfortable. Eventually she grew up and stopped being childish. |

Moods will improve when the sun comes back and the snow goes away. If only there were some sort of rodent based ritual that someone could do to make winter end.
Anyone here have a groundhog?

I'll gladly trade you 1000 days of summer at 40-44c for 1000 days of winter at -15c. |
