Why do troll troll ?
 

Why do they do this?

There are as many reasons as there are trolls. Many trolls are just
practical jokers attempting to amuse themselves and their audience.
Some have genuine animosity toward a particular group or individual
that they believe has done them wrong. Some are just loathsome,
contemptible hooligans bent on disrupting the ordinarily peaceful
exchange of useful information for their own perverted pleasure.

Usenet provides a medium to create and express oneself, and gives the
added dimension of anonymity, allowing the troll to create and express
emotions, thoughts and ideas that he/she might not ordinarily express.
For many, Usenet is the first and only place their creative works will
ever be "published". Trolling, for many, is a creative endeavor, and
art form if you will, misunderstood by many, appreciated by a few, but
valid to the writer none-the-less.

They also stomp. And peel. I have seen some trolls roll around a lot.
They don't look at what they're rolling in. They just get that chilly
madness in the grass or up on a barnacle tower, since wht do they care?

=============
A Detective told me these people, including net-stalkers are becoming more
common as criminals, sex perverts and the (untreated ?) mentally ill take to
the Internet. Instead of lurking in dark alleys and behind bushes and
drunkenly babbling, "You whore" to passing women or something equally
idiotic to the men on the street, they get online.....

Blanket Statement Alert! The above statement is purely fictional
and should be taken as "speculation" only. No proof will be given
or could even be verified so it only serves as a weak attempt at
boosting support for usenet pariah like Carol Gully.
