Trolling is a mixture of things.

  1 part 'crosspost alt.os.linux and alt.os.windows with a "Mac is superior" post'
  1 part 'I destroy your life for the fun of it'
  1 part 'I make the people who do despicable things suffer as much as I can'
  1 part 'its funny as a group cause we all laugh in unison'
  1 part 'Who cares'
And yet 1 part really is serious critique. I know, because I am one.
