My guess would be:

1. Boredom
2. Personal entertainment
3. Sadism
4. Loneliness
5. Something else

Kids you can understand but a ~50 year old grown man doing the amount of trolling that is done here has serious issues.

Looks like a few trolls don't realise they are one

Some people on here seem to have a bizarre obsession with the concept of trolling.

Also some people who are perceived as trolls may just be idiots...

Would have been funnier if the gag wasn't spoilt in the YouTube title. Well maybe funnier wasn't the right word.

I would be guilty of biting to some posts but there are certain posts which it is very hard to just ignore.  I wrote a quick javascript function which removes posts from a certain user...would need to update it though as it still picks up there messages if another poster quotes them...

Cool! I compiled a string of characters that equated precisely to their usernames and put them on the ignore list. It took me less time than it did to write this sentence. How long did your javascript function take?

Took me approx 2 mins to write the js function
