But it's a serious question. Let's say that I don't like Bob Dylan, for instance. What would motivate me to join a forum of Bob Dylan fans and spend hours and hours telling everyone that Bob Dylan has a whiny, nasal voice, and that he sings off key? Clearly true, but still, why devote big sections of your life to seeking out disagreement?

Now imagine a forum where Dylan fanatics try to unload their scratchy Dylan vinyl on clueless rubes with lulzy claims like "Dylan records are a disruptive technology destined to become the next world currency" & "anyone not blowing his pension fund on Dylan records is a fool." Imagine further that said Dylan fans are also prognosticating the inevitable demise of all other muzak.
Still with me? Let's keep imagining!

Now imagine that same Dylan fanatics are hilariously inept at pimping Dylan, a veritable herd of lolcows, udders just bursting with strawberry-flavored lel.

Now imagine how effective your trolling would be in real life. Come to think of it, do you have a life outside bitcointalk?
