As anyone of even marginal intelligence should be able to understand,
the _lack_ of quality in a troll's life, the admitted desire of a
troll for the acceptance of criminal demeanor to be considered
mainstream behavior, and the troll's propensity toward fomenting
discord in the affairs of those not so afflicted are the troll's
raisons d'être.

In order to feed their egos and bring feelings of self-worth into
their wasted lives, trolls like to attempt to engage passers-by by
shouting personally derogatory epithets in an attempt to attract
retaliation (and thus validation) from the passer by.  Should _any_
response be forthcoming, the troll's true nature will come to light
and an attempt will be made, by the troll, to slough off its character
defects onto the passer-by and to cause an infection to occur in the
passer-by which will make the troll's actions seem to be benevolent.

Vituperative ranting directed at a troll is anathema to it in that it
forces a crack to appear in its thin outer shell which can easily be
widened by the application of anger, real or feigned.  Once the crack
has been opened, the troll is forced to look within itself and,
horrified by what it sees, call for the cessation of activities which
would open the crack wider and wider and eventually lead to the
troll's understanding of its true nature.

Failure to accede to the troll's pleas for "reason" to prevail is the
kindest thing to do, in that it will put the troll out of its misery.
