Generally I don't respond. However, sometimes a good thread unrelated to the OP accidentally is produced so I do respond to those. Ofttimes a completely idiotic original post can give rise to some enlightened discussion stemming not from the original post but from some factual information that is posted in response. I'm reasonably certain that a lively fact-based discussion hijack of such a troll thread is highly annoying to the troll.
Your answer still puzzles me. "He's here only to annoy!" doesn't really explain the psyche of someone like that or the reasoning that is present within their brain that allows them to believe that annoying people is acceptable behavior or even desirable behavior. The only thing I can think of is that such people are consumed with hatred of those smarter than them. I really come up blank looking for other reasons, which is why I started this thread...to perhaps gain insight as to what makes such extreme individuals tick.
