It begins with The Joy To Annoy. Not limited to trolls. People tend to use lesser goads like "amusing" and "thanks for playing" that arouse anger.

I'm as guilty of this as anyone, though not the instigation so much as in being aroused to anger, something I work hard at suppressing now. Some things just annoy the hell out of me, like the entire "trans" fad, pomposity, neologisms, and certain patterns of debate.

About two years ago I started getting tired of being angry all the time. It's a hard habit to break.
