The troll's whole point, his raison d'être, isn't to convince anyone of whatever "cause" they picked to troll with.
99.9% of the time they don't believe one iota of whatever they're "promoting" because that would defeat the purpose of the troll, which is to piss people off. Plain and simple.
The more people get angry AWMAGERDS YUOS SO WRANG SO STOOPID BAN HEEM then the more successful the troll is, ergo the more he/she is gonna keep on doing it.
If they do indeed believe the "cause", then they're not trolls but crazy people. Nevertheless, the same rules apply. Trolls and attention-seeking crazies NEED an audience. If nobody pays attention then they move on. They HAVE to.
No audience = no reason to stick around.

True. And sure, there are people in this forum that share those views and will let anyone know if given the chance.
But it's usually pretty easy to discern a troll from your average tin-foil wearing paranoid. The best you can hope to do with the tin-foil crowd is to present your arguments in a calm, organized and logical manner and never, under any circumstances, get angry.
If somebody believes the government is out to get them by implanting mind-control nanobots in the population by using water fluoridation and you hope to talk them into seeing they might be mistaken well, I wish you good luck and may whatever Deity you may or may not believe in have mercy on your hypothetical soul.
And as has been my point, we're talking about a
porn webmaster forum here. Not exactly what you'd call a hot-bed of socio-political change
And finally, just because someone thinks the Underground Reptile Illuminati are out to get him doesn't rule out the possibility that
someone is after them (YOU'LL NEVER GET ME YOU FUCKS!)
