Trolls- the motive?

**Lucy Chambers** · 22-04-11, 22:43

I must admit to being flummoxed by trolls. If I was banned from a forum, I would have no interest in returning, equally if I hated a forum, I would not post there nor read it. What is the point? Has anyone got a clue what drives these malicious little keyboard gremlins? I am genuinely curious.

I think in some way Lucy they are pretty sad miserable people with no happiness in their own lives so they’ve decided the only joy they get out of their lives is try and make other people feel the same way they do and that’s to try and upset others.

If life gives you lemons, ask for tequila

Personally, I think it must be entirely down to you Lucy!

On a serious note I don't understand it myself. Except in extreme cases where the person obviously has some kind of disorde/'issues'.
