Do you think online trolls believe what they spew, or do you think they are just saying things provocative things for attention?

Both.

Many of them are just being provacative out of some psych maladjustment. Pretty much like vandals - they be crazy.





Or worse - White, Catholic, Republicans!

There are plenty that you would HOPE they don't honestly believe the crap they post but then you have to wonder why they're so stupid they waste their time doing that crap in the first place?

Some just like to sit back & watch the rest of the board react & others really believe their crazy posts.

I think most put out completely opposite opinions (especially when 95% of other people already know or understand the issue) just to have someone else scream at the ON ALL CAPS as if trying to convert or perform an exorcism on the thread.

This for the most part.

I think they do it for the rise they get out of people more than anything. As long as I live, I do not think I will ever understand why they enjoy such stupidity.

I believe their thoughts come from a genuine place.

Those type of people want others to believe they troll for fun and don't HAVE to do it if they don't want to because there's always something better for them to do....but in their reality, there ISN'T anything better for them to do--everyone in their real lives with two brain cells to rub together have stopped entertaining them.

That's why they end up taking their screwed up thinking to the internet hoping that nobody can see through them. I truly think the majority of people like this are absolutely miserable when their internet connection fails.
