Why do people troll on HP answers?
Is it irritating to see a large number of perfectly reasonable answers voted down when they add to the conversation?

To troll on some HP answers is perhaps the only way they have to discourage opinions as the effect would be nothing to them.
The simple but truthful answer:
They don't have something useful to say but they want to reply anyway because they want to get exposed and improve their commenter status so they take refuge in humor or trolling.... sad but true
I appreciate your question. I asked a similar question some time back, but I had no idea that it was called trolling. Thanks. I learned my "something new" today!

They want to humiliate, embarras, belittle,, etc. They don't have any friends and are jealous people.They have...
