Behind the Troll

[Black Francis]

I was talking with Hate paper doll and recalling the incident with Yorkedaddy in the reputation thread today and i got to thinking about internet trolls.

Like, what is the motivation behind a troll?
Im not calling Yorke a troll, ive seen him be more than that but i have seen him troll some ppl

ive done it too i admit, but even though i enjoy it, i recognise im being a dick having a laugh at their expense.
however ive met some True trolls around the net, users with multiple accounts having a laugh of fooling ppl they are serious, exploiting anonymity in a dickish way without any remorse.

Why do they this? where does the need come from? what can explain this behavior? that's what im asking you MB

further more, are they a necessary evil?

We hate them but also applaud them at the same time, we reward them with attention falling into their trap knowing it's a trap.
ive even tried being rational with some of them which is ridiculous cause im talking to a person so detached he became a troll.
