Profiles in Trolling

I have comment on Khaf's last post post about Joaquin Phoenix.
That interview flows perfectly into a new series called: "PROFILES IN TROLLING"

















For the uninitiated, trolling is occurs when any person who purposely and intentionally attempts to cause disruption or controversy. A troll deliberately exploits tendencies of human nature to upset people. The people being trolled usually don't know they are being trolled.
Probably the best way to explain trolling is by showing examples.
Acting racist/sexist for laughs is considered trolling but simply being a racist/sexist is not.














This brings us back the interview. Joaquin Phoenix could be pulling off a very impressive troll, no one gets the joke except for himself. Or he simply could be crazy, that wouldn't be as entertaining.
