What do you think makes trolls troll?

[edgeprod]

Is it something that happened in their childhood? Is it rage over not being successful? Is it just a personality defect? Why is it so boring to the rest of us, but so exciting to them? Discuss.

The fact that you felt compelled to make this thread?

Lets just say it speaks volumes.

You just confirmed trolling is alive and well to the 1000th degree

Final answer

[wehateporn]

Of all the trolls on GFY, who is the most successful in biz? Can you think of anyone wealthy here who engages in trolling?

[Klen]

No, good point ... but every once in a while, I get a perverse joy in being trolled. I dunno what that says about me. I guess I like the spotlight, and their attention is more welcome to me than to others. Maybe that's why I'm such a poor troll target: I don't get my feathers ruffled, and I play along. It's interesting to discuss, either way .. hence, this thread.

Well .................................

Wait a second, this thread is a troll within itself.

The one that Harmon has busted over and over Butler seems to have a endless supply of accounts to troll on. Seems to me, he would be better off instead of trolling and fucking with everybody, fucking people on gfy out of their money and begging for cash on those fucking fundme/donation sites to just do some god damn work and earn his money.

It seems in 11 years I've only been blatantly trolled by adg, but he's easily manageable because he is a holier than thou, stripper cash aka camboss I have no idea what I did to him, and brassmonkey, but he's kind of funny so it's harmless.

For some reason the first thing that came to mind reading the title of this thread was.. How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

[Capsie]

Ah hell that's one of the perks living in your parents basement... Don't have to do any work because mommy and daddy pay their bills, buy the food and help pay for the two dimebags of heroin everyday. If these fuckers that troll 23 hours a day (they have to leave the basement for 1 hour to score their bags and clean their needles) actually had to pay their bills, buy their own food and actually had a life I'd say the trolling would slow down on here.

This question will need a definition,.....not everyone is clear as to what a "troll" is? Care to clarify????

[Dead]

I will give two cents to see that list....

[DWB]

Nothing wrong with a good troll sometimes, but some of these losers troll 365 days a year. I can't imagine what kind of a cluster fuck their lives must be in order for them to be able to spend every waking moment on here, or any other board, and troll people like that. It's sad really and there is probably a medical condition behind it. There is no way they could be successful at anything with the amount of time they spend here, and there is no telling what other boards they spend all day on.

BTW... if you think I was just talking about you, you're probably right.

[CaptainHowdy]

If you (actually) feel trolled, then you're the one with the real problem...

Exactly right.

Apparently, some of them also do not bother to think of the repercussions, despite many people pointing it out when the shit is going on. You would think that most people have enough sense to not destroy their credibility and business in front of all their peers within an industry. Assuming they had any to begin with.

If someone wants to troll all day, so be it. I've never personally understood it, especially by those who spend an insane amount of time doing it. I mean, it's not like you actually know these people in the first place. Historically, it would appear to be a certain personality type and background that gets joy from this behavior. But I think it's rather telling in the grand scheme of things, as others have already pointed out in this thread.

That is what I really don't understand. It is one thing to act like an idiot provoking, insulting and threatening to "destroy" people from an anonymous nick, but to do it from the same nick that you are trying to get consultancy work from shows an incomprehensible lack of judgement in my opinion.

Keyword "trying". How you ever expect to get consultancy work having done nothing yourself is beyond me. I would imagine after a few months of subpar results someone with this mental condition would just revert to trolling and pretending that they are just ever so busy teaching people that make millions per year how to make more millions even though they obviously don't have a clue.

When my dick breaks I call a dick mechanic or something.

He can be an asshole and a bully sometimes, but I wasn't talking about Damian. I have no doubts about his credentials or abilities and as far as I can see, the only people that do are people like you and Beaner (who I was talking about) that I am guessing have never worked with him.

I certainly haven't seen any complaints from his clients although of course that could be because he has no real clients right? ;)

Nail and head.

You got to agree with me Roald that up to a certain point any community or social network thrives on exact this behaviour?

Best examples are FB and YT.
Every person wants to be in the spotlight!

But who am I talking to, right?
Think you already know all this. ;)

[WDF]

Martin asked then demanded proof and when I provided what he asked his reply was:



You would think Martin would be happy he got what he both asked for then demanded.

No Martin tries to intimidate or deflect with words like harassment and spam.

Martin you invite people to PM you then get offended when they do, are you sensitive? Is it the wrong time of the month, PMS?

I told you to be careful about what you ask for and that you needed thick skin here.

[Paully]

I don't get the shit but some of the regular trolls on here are at least comedic. Fuck, if I'm gonna but into some shit I try and at least be funny. Doesn't always work but I probably laughed.

Being hounded on every fucking post because you said show me something like I said to beaner should show you he's a fucking nutjob.

He didn't by the way get my server shut down. He sent dmcas to gfy and certified about his picture I found on the webs and then cried to them until they took them down. 2 days before before my sight went down for an hour. Ohhhnoessss

Thanks again Kacy for looking into it personally. Certified had my shit up and running right away. Nothing to do with beaner. Internal routing error.

Why GFY yanked the dick face pick is beyond me since it falls under parody and isn't subject to copyright. But it's their board. Even though beaner had requested Harmon do the same shit to me days before. He's a whiny, fucked up, hypocritical clown, and glad to see him gone.

Dudes a fucking loser and anybody with business ties with him is blacklisted in my book. So far I have saraswirls. Probably wont even need the back of a business card to list the rest.

btw Harmon go ahead and eat a bag of dicks, bet you can't just munch one ;)

I don't know him at all, I just like to subtly fuck with him from time to time. I honestly couldn't tell you one thing he does aside from magic, how good he is at it or what his wife looks like.

The same thing that makes retarded people act the way that they do.... mental issues

Anybody on the planet can hide behind a fake nick while stalking, attacking & criticizing others but the ones who do it are those who lead shitty dead-end lives and who have some sort of mental issue - usually anger issues of some sort. Normal people would rather spend their time doing something productive and being a positive influence to others. Only mentally challenged haters find entertainment value in being a troll

[2MuchMark]

Trolling is ok... everyone on GFY posts in just about all the subjects including those started by trolls...obvious trolls are just boring, and the person who starts them didn't put enough thought into them. Subtle trolls on the other hand are much more clever...edgeprod...
