10/03/2006 | this could be part of it. they may be ordinarily passive, doing a nasty to someone's face would be too hard. so they get their power by coming on the internet going on forums such as this one and have their "power" here.

10/02/2006 | I think there's a pretty good argument for any and all the selections on the list. However, I think what it may boil down to is that the person who would be willing to put such a large amount of personal time and effort into this kind of annoying behavior is really screaming to get out of whatever suffocating lifestyle they live. They are probably, for the most part, teenagers or even pre-teens who haven't learned to communicate their feeling of powerlessness let alone overcome it. This theory could also explain why the shelf-life of a troll is relatively short; some really DO manage to grow up and move on to other things. And, yet, I'd be willing to bet there are 35 year olds sitting there with chocolate stained faces, pecking away on a keyboard in his/her parent's basement manically laughing as those revengeful not helpful clicks float off into cyberspace. Now, thats what I call both pathetic and funny!
