Have there been studies on this behavior? I enjoy some light hearted sports smack, but some here live to rattle the cage and attempt to upset people.

There are some bright folks here. I am interested in your thoughts.

Stonehog don't bother.

Why do you choose to be a Mississippi State fan? Are you from Mississippi? If so, how does it feel to be from the poorest, fattest, ugliest, least educated state in the country?

You've never messed with someone irl and gotten them angry for no reason, and thought it was hilarious? Same thing but with typing. U mad bro?

I do it when the following conditions are met:

1. I'm bored
2. The topic is controversial enough to illicit some very strong reactions from the Rant's more vocal and opinionated posters.

At the core of all of this is that my Mother didn't love me enough as a child.

Look at Klarvin's history and you have a solid setup of a trolling life.

I troll because I know that I will never change the views of people on the internet, so I may as well make them suffer for them.

My little brother trolls in Facebook. Doesn't work out for him sometimes.

I don't think most start out as trolling. I think most start out as somewhat genuine, looking to make their mark with their intelligence, hoping for plenty of validation. Once that shite fails hard, most are like "oh well, can't beat em, might as well join em"
