Yes, but most people don't even realize they are being trolled. Why would they pity me? Do you pity people you disagree with online?

- M_Grey 10y agoYou might be surprised at just how often those people being trolled are just as lonely and bored as you, and just as undiscriminating in their taste in virtual company. The rest, the aforementioned "vast majority" almost certainly recognize what you're about, and steer well clear of you as a result. In all likelihood, your activities achieve little more than to restrict your potential interactions by preemptively driving away anyone who's actually worth interacting with.
- ythl 10y agoStop saying I'm lonely and bored! I'm neither lonely nor bored, and my trolling is purely for entertainment value (often to be shared with others after the fact). For example, sometimes I'll make a throwaway stackoverflow account and then ask a question in which I criticize the gcc compiler, when in reality my posted code itself is logically incorrect. The variety and types of responses I get are often hilarious... from the condescending pedant to the patient nurturer.
- M_Grey 10y agoIf you can explain that behavior in some way that doesn't rely on being bored, and in some form of social isolation I'd like to hear it.
- qb45 10y agoYou provide no explanation either, just jargon. You are probably somewhere halfway between the condescending pedant and the patient nurturer.
- M_Grey 10y agoI don't have enough personal interest you to be either, I'm just curious, but I guess you're not interested in answering my questions. That's fine. Goodbye.
