The performance art bit resonates with me. To a large extent, it was a way to play with how to elicit reactions from people. Do something interesting, get social feedback, use that cycle to build models of people. I think a big part of why trolling appealed to me is simply an appreciation of surreal humor and situations. As an example, secretly installing a bidet in the shared men's restroom. That, to me, is the positive way to behave trollishly - putting people in strange situations and seeing what happens.
