You're lonely and harbor resentment towards others. I'm genuinely concerned your health will fail you soon :(

Or, some people just take some things way too seriously. Isn't that what the sort of trolling we do here is about? People being overly serious about something and then reacting disproportionately at some lame comment from a troll? That puts power in the hands of the troll. I don't think you need to be narcistic or a psychopath to have a little fun exploiting that. As long as it remains classy. There are limits of course.

:olo: At least they don't have to depend on their significant other for money. Or are you able to reap welfare with all those botched abortions?

Yes. The media doesn't really "get" trolls though... they use the word for describing dumb racist insult hurlers or hate-spreaders rather than any kind of manipulative trolling (which imo has more of a basis in sarcasm or irony than hatred).

Heyho.

Entire article could be a troll on trolls though...

the media doesn't seem to get that mickey-taking wind-up merchants existed before the internet, they exist today, and will go on existing even in a no-internet zombie post-apocalypse
