You did say you i) you don't care if people think you are a troll and ii) enjoy having the label which taken in combination suggest you don't mind the label (which is what I was saying)
Not the same as an admission. Take into consideration some of the people that have given me that label.

That aside, trolls aren't responsible for anything. If someone allows a troll to have that kind of influence on them it doesn't say much for their strength or character.
They contribute, I don't think anybody disputes that
BS at work contributes, rush hour traffic contributes, home life contributes, etc. These are in your face every day contributing factors that you can't ignore. An internet troll is something that can easily be ignored or just not taken seriously. I spar with trolls, i joke with trolls, and/or I ignore trolls. What I don't do is let trolls run me up a tree.

Think someone is a troll or a cyberbully? Easy, just don't read their posts. That's right, just skip over them. If you're so neurotic that you just HAVE to read what they write in case they might be talking about you then maybe it's time to cowboy up a little and get a life off-line.
You and I might be able to "shrug it off" but not everybody can
It aint hard, but for those that it is they are probably mental institution bound sooner or later even without trolls.
