how about a new thread: Obsessive Trolls: Why the Fixation over a Complete Stranger?

or even: Homophobes who Stalk Men Online: Latent Homosexuals?

Sir Whirlysplat. I suggest you don't put in your personal opinion when attempting to create a serious thread.

Because I don't know what the whole purpose is otherwise.

To see what angers people - as like love - it's one of our main motivators

and PVS immediatly thought I meant him 🙂

i find that the most bitter angry people on the internet are the kind who will obsess over complete strangers and spend much of their time pecking with hopes of retaliation. (and as overlord said, negative attention, since its still attention after all)

they prefer to shroud their aggression behind a barage of smilies and accusations that the person(s) they are stalking is actually the angry one(s). thus you will see many posts of "chill out 🙂" and "calm down 🙂" etc. its a kind of pathetic sadistic game for people who have self esteem issues and cant function socially in the outside world, so they go online and poke and prod the very people who in real life would put their game to rest but quick.
