Does it matter why a troll trolls? Does it affect the daily workings of the lives of any of the people on this forum? Many have done that before and many will continue to do so.

CM, sometimes people who ask such questions have a hidden agenda. The reason why it matters is because such people can actually manipulate other people. It has been proven many times over. If you don't care, that's your choice. But don't try to deny the consequences.

G.N.H.S.04's post looks so "canned" to me, I wouldn't be surprised if it was written by a web bot. Have you ever heard of "astroturf"? It's the nickname given to fake grassroots campaigns in which a political action committee plants a scripted message in a bunch of letters to the editor across the country. It's not personal opinion; it's a carefully controlled political message with a specific political purpose, and it is very dishonest.
