"Why Trolls Are Trolls"
a study by valkyrie1119

I have done a simple study and analysis of the brain of a troll. I have discovered the source of their trollish behavior, and would like to share it with the rest of you.

Now, take a look at a picture of the average human brain.

Average Human Brain

Now, take a look at the picture of the average troll brain.

Average Troll Brain

As you can see, there has been severe damage along the outer areas of the brain. This damage has resulted in a psychosis I call "Trolishness," an over stimulation of the cerebral cortex causing the brain to be overwhelmed with messages from the nervous system. This psychosis has also been known to cause fugues of amnesia, where the troll forgets who he is and what he is doing, resulting in more aggressive trollish behavior. Considering the symptoms of trollishness are quite clearly expressed in their behavior, it seems they have no control over it.

With that, there are several procedures you can follow to make the troll a negligible variable:

Ignore the troll. This has been proven to be the best technique since the over stimulation and the psychosis require an unending diet of attention, and have grown to have it become a vital need in order to survive.

Report the troll without attracting its attention. A quiet conference with a moderator or a simply click of the flag button shall suffice.

Try to think like the troll. Because the Trolishness has complete dominance over the troll's behavior and though process, understand that the troll is in a difficult position in terms of mental status. Understanding the difficult mental process the troll is undergoing can result in both sympathy and empathy for the troll.

This concludes my study.

He made a thread that was supposed to make us laugh. It's not his fault if you take things too seriously.

It's his fault I didn't laugh xD

For the last time, I wanted to make people laugh! And I included some tips to deal with trolls so it wouldn't look like some dumb scientific troll experiment.

Yargh, I don't want to say you guys have no sense of humor, but honestly, why are some of you being so aggressive towards Val? It was an obvious joke! I even made an obvious joke thread titled "how is babby formed" and didn't get any controvesry towards having such a useless thread.

And for the record, I did laugh at this.

let me repeat myself. i understand the joke, but am against why you did this thread.

it simply repeats what 2 stickies already say and shows trolls that you are paying attention to them while trying to beat them down with a 'funny thread'

it may provoke more to come.

Thank you Manta! I nominate you the awesomest person on this site, and not just because you said that.

Yes I see your point but try not to ruin it with the whole scientific inaccuracy of it, I know how completely inaccurate it is but that's part of the joke, see?
