Good one, bagster!
I’ve learned that when the trolls come out in force it’s a sign we’re getting close. Sort of like “If you’re taking flak, it means you’re over the target”.
I think trolls are often (not always, but often) trying to distract from something important that is happening or is about to happen.
Secondary reason for them to appear is because they are panicked and lashing out.
Based on the tone of recent trolling, I’d say more of the former than the latter.
What generally said, bagster!
LUKE - STAY ON TARGET!!!
More likely, imho, they are just terminally irritated because they didn't come up with it all and can't stand a group project they aren't leading--though they probably lack leadership skills; aren't often tolerated as leaders; don't play well with other kids; outraged their teens and generally are the folks on the block that others cross the street to avoid.
They are probably professional complainers in about any group they are a part of.
