    I declare the last paragraph a game of "you're IT no touchback tagback"

     

    Actually if you look 5-10 pages back there's a somewhat traditional thesis paper on trolls.  It's big but a little thin on content, because of the thiness of content I declare the cause for trolling to be the identical reasons for communicating over the Internet.   IE:  the same reason someone trolls is the same reason the normal person communicates over the Internet.

    I find it amazing that by 2020 first world countries will be competing to get immigrants.

    Hunh? Whutz this Rekkit Mez Earring over there?

    If ye love wealth greater than liberty, the tranquility of servitude; greater than the animating contest for freedom, go home from us in peace. We seek not your counsel, nor your arms. Crouch down and lick the hand that feeds you; May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen.
    —Samuel Adams
