    Some people think its hilarious to say something and then watch other people get really angry! Like older brothers like to tease younger ones.
    Its childish really.

    Other people are evil and write horrible things about others to try and upset them. That is wrong on a lot of levels...

    Then you have the aggressive atheist type trolls who spend their life trying to force their opinions on others, liberal PC types. Basically just westbrits trying to make us wear poppys after 800 years of oppression.
    Just ignore them.
    Good example of someone viewing people as trolls simply because (s)he vehemently disagrees with their views.

    People troll for the laugh and yes it's funny to see posters get all worked up over a troll, everyone knows its a troll but still some people cannot resist having a pop at the troll which only adds to the trolls enjoyment.

    One trolling style is to go against the grain merely for the sake of it. Saying stuff like "I agree with it" (and no elaboration) if it's a really lenient sentence for child abuse or something. Attention-seeking at its finest.

    Yes but its too easy to shout 'Troll' and dismiss what someone says just because you dont agree with it. A lot of the time its the people who shout troll are the ones who are afraid to argue the point themselves.

    Sorry.

    I am right and you are wrong. The fact that you will even respond to this with a simple non entity answer will de facto prove me correct and beyond rebuff.

    The vast majority of trolls are mostly bored office workers predominately in the public sector with little or no work to do.

    There is probably no one reason why people do it. Among the reasons

    Its a form of attention seeking behaviour...they think its funny ...imauriety...pysocolagly problems... contrariness.. and so on.
