==On why people troll==
I haven't changed the article, but I troll on slashdot so I thought I could offer perspective for this article. I noticed that nobody understands why we do it, and the answer is simple: it's fun. That's it. You toss an idea out there that is so ridiculous, and you see if somebody bites. Today I posted a comment on slashdot that got moderated up to +3 Informative before somebody else pointed out that it was just a broken link involving hot grits had any of the moderators bothered to follow it. I'm still laughing about it. Once, I informed slashdot that Big Business invented the internet and we have them to thank for open source software - I got over 100 replies! I still smile about that one. I am a member of the community, and I do contribute to it in a positive way, but once in a while, I like to have some fun, and '''the only thing more fun than trolling is pouring hot grits down your pants'''. Thank you.

That was an excellent summary. Must trolls seem to be pranksters like you, in it for a giggle. It's a pity they aren't tolerated more, I guess most people can't take a joke :p I think it is a wonderful part of the global internet culture, a streak of [[larrikinism]] and mirth that is often lacking in the 'serious business' that is the internet. Of course, they do get annoying fast...[[User:Nazlfrag|Nazlfrag]] 08:55, 20 March 2007 (UTC)
