I think they are actually trying to poison and destroying every possibility of an actual conversation with polemics. <br /><br />Same goes for any form of baiting. This kind of provocation is easy and cheap. You don't have to be that bright to pull it off and have fun with it. And it's never a challenge. That's not really a good thing. <br /><br />I get why baiters and self-proclaimes "trolls" are enjoying feelings of their own superiority. They feel like "playing" lesser-minded folks, enjoying the predictable outcome and the benign power they seem to weild about everyone "getting emotional" because of them. In the end, though, they are just adding fuel to the fire of mass hysteria that has been the cause of many of our modern problems - and they are doing it only for themselves. <br /><br />Don't fool yourself into believing that this is in any way of merit, supposedly because it "mirrors" social behaviour and therefor educates. It doesn't. Angry people don't learn and they don't change their perspective. They only get angrier, then they get resentful and finally hateful and mad. It's a wildfire that spreads and posions every important dialogue of our society, to the point where even those who are affecting our daily lives or the well being of ourselves and others is nothing more bute a joke.
