I get/got trolled ALL the time, and it was extremely frustrating. I would get irrationally angry at them. Then I started doing it myself and realized it was fun. Not sure if it was really a coping mechanism or I was just bored or what. IRL I don't think I troll people or say inflammatory things, I tend to be quiet and reserved. But most online chat platforms I have been on have been extremely toxic, with not really any better alternatives, so I guess if you can't beat em, join em... but I think that mentality mostly evolved subconsciously in me over time.

- ranger_danger 3y agoI agree with this in principle but in my experience many trolls never change, and trying to act nicer just fuels them to keep going, because they love attention.
