A question to/about these Trolls
 

What is with these Trolls?

What's the point of coming on here pretending to be things you're not?

Patsummerall80 spent the better part of two weeks trying to convince everyone he was a patsfan only to admit now he's a Steelers fan. What's the point? Don't you have better things to do with your time?

That RXjock guy spent the better part of four hours trying to back his 'tedy is done' opinion by claiming he was a med student. Only later to admit that it was a bold faced lie and that he's not a Patsfan either.

My question isn't so much 'why do they post here?' because I get the draw of trying to rile up fans of other teams. But the thing that I don't get is that they invent these lies and then spend HOURS, DAYS, or even WEEKS defending them for no purpose.

It astounds me that there are people with so much free time as to come on another team's fansite and defend a lie for hours days and weeks.

My question is to the trolls: What's the point? Why do you do it?
Don't you have better things to do?

Quick answer: No, they don't have better things to do, and you're wasting your time contemplating it.

There are two kinds of trolls. The first are up front about who they are and what team they are fans of. I mostly enjoy good natured smack with them.

Then there is the "undercover trolls". They pretend to bee Patriots fans and even take "names" as patriot fans and even past and present patriot players. Then they post thinly vieled threads on one hand supporting the team but then knocking the team.

I hate those bastards and I spit on them. One or two fooled me for a little while. We will be getting more of them as the playoffs progress.

I contemplated that double edged sword.

But then I decided that since I post here often and they keep coming around and wasting my time with their inane lies that it'd be in my best interest to understand them. That way I can better identify them and thusly avoid them in the future.

I'd much rather have a FinFan type poster than a guy like Patsummerall80. At least you know what you're getting into when you click a post by a fan that admits they like the dolphins jets or raiders.

In one word....jealousy. They know that what the Pats have done and are doing is unprecedented and want to shake our faith in the team. It's amazing that they choose to spend their free time thinking that this is important, but these are not normal human beings.

That's actually what I was pondering earlier. Are these just normal guys that have real lives? Or are these sick internet kiddies that sit in their rooms in mommy's house just posting all day and night as sad alter egos all over the net? I pity them honestly if that's the case.

Not to worry my friend, just watch our shmessed up troll hunter snuffling through the threads on the track of the next under-medicated squealer. :trolls:

Careful, we don't want to "jump on all the Noobs". Whatever the hell that meant.

It's an honor to be on the job, sir!

(actually it was a guilty pleasure to smoke that guy out!)
