Quote from Thunderdog:
Perhaps it should be pointed out that volente holds Larry Williams in high regard. Really.
Maybe, maybe not.
Just to clarify something for you, 'dog:
<b>Bozente is a garden variety internet troll.</b>
What this means: He believes that <b>claiming</b> respect for Williams is likely to cause other people to get angry. It does NOT mean that he <b>actually</b> has respect for Williams. Truth is irrelevant to the troll. He just posts whatever he feels will be most effective at enraging the readers.
You & I don't think that way, naturally. Troll psychology may be a strange and confusing universe to you, so I'll try and explain it in further detail: Most hard-core trolls suffer from
BPD. This means they derive great pleasure from provoking anger in others. A kleptomaniac 'gets off' on stealing, a masochist 'gets off' on having pain inflicted upon himself, and a <b>BPD troll 'gets off' on pissing people off.</b>
Therefore, the BPD troll does not communicate as normal people do. Rather, he deliberately sets out to write whatever is most likely to provoke anger in others. When his posts are met with furious rage, he has succeeded in his mission- thereby deriving great pleasure from the anger he has caused.

An outline of Bozente's preferred strategy:
<i>Troll tactic: <b>Winning by Losing:</b> While the victim is trying to put forward solid and convincing facts to prove his position, the troll's only goal is to infuriate its prey. The troll takes (what it knows to be) a badly flawed, wholly illogical argument, and then vigorously defends it while mocking and insulting its prey. The troll looks like a complete idiot, but this is all part of the plan. The victim becomes noticeably angry by trying to repeatedly explain the flaws of the troll's argument. Provoking this anger was the troll's one and only goal from the very beginning.</i>
