I read the article, "Inside the Mind of an Internet Troll", by Kim Fischer. The article is about what are the mentality of an Internet troll and why they are trolling random strangers in the internet and what motivates them to do such thing.
In other words the internet has many users they have what we called "own taste" and some person are too gullible what they are reading on the internet. I agree with Gillingham, internet has bunch of retards who is easily to deceive what they are reading, the best example is the satire news which is many people will believe and they have been trolled big time.
I read another article about this topic, "What is trolling, and why do we behave so differently online?", by Stephen Webster. The summary of this article is that in real life we have set of rules and norms that make us good person but on the internet there is no boundaries of set of rules and norms that we became a troll that literally can do anything online.
According to Webster, "Seeing other people behaving in the same way may help to normalise and maintain what is unpleasant behaviour - so it’s cognitive dissonance in action."
In other words Internet trolls tend to troll someone if their beliefs doesn't fit on the person they are trolling. Basically they troll you because you don't have the same point of view I agree what Webster said because I have encountered many trolls and what I have experienced is if they disagree with you they will keep pushing their views until you submit.
