"I have a little theory. There are less transparent reasons for trolling.
Take Gary for example. He knows how to do his laundry. He can write a
paragraph or two (in fact, everything he says is a separate paragraph, much
like the BBC). Anyway, he comes to COLA and participates in a discussion,
using inflammatory remarks to provoke and receive answers. He thinks that by
being part of the discussuion and blending in, it makes his seem
knopledgeable, as though it puts his at the same class as the regulars. To
outsiders, this gives the desired false impression. Essentially, think of
the trolls as posers who are better off ignored. They know they don't belong
in a Linux advocacy discussion, so they resort to annoying others and
generate followups. Can you imagine Gary having a discussion about merits
and technicalities? He'd be lost and be told "STFU n00b", or get no replies
at all. Of course, in reality the motive might also be that paycheck he gets
from his employer at Redmondville."
