Just like what I've said in my previous posts, trolls come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. Behind that computer screen, there are people who just had a rough day and want to take it all out by flaming people. Of course, that's just hypothetical, but that's the general assumption. There are also some that do it for ridiculous reasons, like for killing time or for a lame bet. Anyhow, this led me into searching about the different types of internet trolls.
I decided on these 2 articles because people have varying interpretation. After all, the topic is as unpredictable as it may come. Credible they may be, but both are still blogs so I guess trolling is not a popular topic (yet) in formal research.

To make good use of these links, I'll try labeling myself!
To be honest, I troll every once in a while. I have even heard everybody trolls nowadays, especially with the advent of 9gag, so it's really a common thing. But I'll to relive it in my upcoming posts.
I simply troll when I get bored; whenever I want to release a certain amount of stress in my arsenal. And yes, that blasts off some of my anger too. I'm also fond of experiementing or, should I say, lying, to get a good reaction from the person. But hey, at the end of the day, it's all for the fun. There's nothing wrong there, right? Yeah, I think I need to get a life -.-
For some updates, my upcoming posts will takle more serious and intruiging cases of trolling, so stay tuned...
