Why are there so many trolls on Yahoo Message Boards?

Question

Every single board is filled with trolls. It is Lib this, Con that, racism, one poster with multiple ID's talking to themself, and all sorts of other attacks on decent people. Why does this happen?

Answer 1

Because it is fun and the game that everyone plays. I am a troll myself--one with a well know ID. People fear me, respect me, hate me, dispise me, want to kiss me, want to kill me--and none of it has any meaning.

It is a community--extended and rich in texture.

And you obviously are a profound loser who is either a con or a mid (middle of the roader) and probably voted for Bush--YES YOU DID!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DONT LIE TO ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

I KNOW BETTER, YOU HUCKSTER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

YOU MORONIC BASTURD IDIOTIC LEFT-WING RIGHTWING ILLEGITIMATE OFFSPRING OF A TOOT!!!!!!!!!

FACT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!...

OK--see how it works? Now you just wish that YOU could make a reply to attack me back. I feel better and you feel worse!!!

BWAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAAA............. And all you have available is that whimpy little comment window that remains closed until you click on it.

NNNNNNNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!  PSSSSSSFFFFGT!!

Answer 2

Because Yahoo doesn't care about trolls, or the quality of their message boards. It's all about advertising revenue and page hits for them, and they figure trolls make more page hits and get more attention than the people they drive away.
