I was wondering today something given some posters I have seen on CDC - why do people troll websites? Let's take CDC - it is a site for Canuck fans to voice opinions, concerns and even despair with a team that is currently coming out of their down cycle so most fans know that a 29th place team is not perfect but have optimism and even some patience. However, no matter how positive an issue is, there are a handful of people who simply want to take every issue and look for drama and implied "doom and gloom" even where there is no evidence of any such. Being constructive critical is what a fan would do - hating on every single move is a troll. So, I just thinking to myself, if why? If you truly hate the Canucks so much - why follow them? If you are a fan of another team, is your life so empty that you get pleasure baiting Canuck fans? Are there people out there that insecure?
Genuinely curious. Just asking myself!

Get a sense that too much has changed too quickly. Take a cross-section of general population, & lots of folks have pre-existing trubs to begin with. I see an analogy(parallel lines?) with increasing violence within today's culture:
Increasing violence(vid games, movies, news, day to day exp's).. one can become desensitized, almost acceptance of the fact...compassion becomes extinct/sometimes contrived.
Mass-communication/increasing speed(TMI) ..overwhelmed from excess. Narcotizing-effect, & constant desire for 'the latest'. No time to mull/digest info deeply. Lose one's curiosity, & perhaps(potentially) respect/manners as well.
Sorry if this digresses. But I feel it's relevant in the context of today's communication style/trends.
I hope psychologists/sociologists are closely tracking the effects of so much technological change upon our social habits, personalities & mental health. It's a pretty rapid experiment on 'the masses', IMHO.
