I think you're the biggest Troll on the Internet. Did your mother treat you badly? Did you get picked on in school? Do you still get Bullied at work? Deep down inside you know you're a 'C' class lawyer and NEED recognition and praise. You don't get that so you go trolling on the net. Why Do They Do It? Affirmation. Regular net users know how delightful it is when somebody responds to something they have written. It is a meeting of the minds, which is an intellectual thrill, but it is also an acknowledgement of one's value — and that can be a very satisfying emotional reward. Trolls crave attention, and they care not whether it is positive or negative. They see the Internet as a mirror into which they can gaze in narcissistic rapture. If you want a deeper analysis than that, perhaps a psychologist can shed some additional light on the matter.
