Where did all the trolls come from?

It has been my understanding that the politics sub-sub forum has been the place to go for mud slinging, and the rest of the forum is where enlightened individuals would go to have some rational conversations. It now seems there is a handful of shitbags that just troll around picking fights, just jumping into threads to launch personal attacks.



With the exception of the politics sub-basement, can't we all be at the top of the pyramid?
