a someewhat smart guy's definitions
While hated by most, these people are typically non-social for reasons beyond their control, and manage to get that one glimpse at society by eliciting responses from forum-goers who, nine times out of ten, think they know everything and that anything that goes against the norm is bad. There are of course the assholes who do it just for fun, but a lot of these people are suffering: people with manic (or often just plain old) depression, people with real issues in real life, or people who's real life isn't as cupcakes and unicorns as people on the internet assume.
I say this because I know people in real life who many would consider trolls, and they "troll" on forums because they receive no attention from their family and very little from anyone else. They are saints for putting up with it in real life, but it'd be unhealthy to pent up all their frustration. So what do they do? They speak out on the internet, often in obnoxious and annoying matters. The very fact that people respond to what they say is important to them, just because they get satisfaction in knowing that some people somewhere acknowledge their existence, and perhaps more importantly their opinion. Believe me, most trolls you see aren't "a poor excuse of a human being". Their lives in real life is worse than many could imagine. Everyone needs to vent sometimes.

Troll: WOW U FUCKS NARUTO IS FOR HOMOS ONLY.
Forum-goers: U poor excuse for a human being you need to die
Troll (in real life): Man, I don't really like Naruto. But no one knows that. No one in my life give a flying fuck about anything I say or do.

Get the Significant othermug. A game originally imported from Korea in 2005, it has become very unfriendly to new users due to "leeching", where players ask their friends to level for them while they watch Bleach reruns. Now, if you aren't above level 150, these leechers will call you a noob even though they haven't themselves leveled a character past level 60. Basically, only play it if you have lost all self respect.
MapleStory new player: Hmm, I just got to level 10, which jo...
Level 157 leecher: WOW LVL 10 NOOOOB I'M A LVL 157 NL I CAN DO OVER 100K DMG FACKER HAHALOL

Get the MapleStorymug. A fo-sport for those who are not necessarily out of shape, but lack skills for other sports. Because it is a fo-sport, those who are capable at it do not consider themselves "jocks" rather rebels. Indeed, these people are rebels without a cause, and most of them in turn will fail at life.
Person 1: Man, Johnny wasn't looked really athletic, but he got cut from Basketball, Football, AND Baseball!
Person 2: I know. I heard he felt so bad, he got into Break Dancing.
Person 1: So that's why he think's he so cool!

Get the Break dancingmug. A anime/manga that tried to usurp some of the popularity of the Yu-Yu Hakusho genre, and in the end managed to get an enormous fanbase from 14-16 year olds who deem themselves "too cool" for other anime like Naruto. It was brilliantly put on the Adult Swim programming block in America, allowing mild profanity and more violence, which only added to the smugness of the aforementioned 14-16 year olds. While most people would watch if it was literally the only thing on TV, it is very overrated and most intelligenet people should not watch it as most of the ideas in it are unoriginal and the characters are usually stereotypical and over dramatic.
Dan: Jesus Christ man, Naruto suxxxxx big time! Bleach is liek da shiz!
Will: Dude, just because you stopped watching Naruto doesn't mean it sucks. It just got old, like Bleach very soon will. And besides, the show is a freaking carbon copy of Yu Yu Hakusho.

Get the bleachmug. A card game that is fun, but when Asian players join, is taken too seriously and loses many of its fun elements.
Rob: Man, that was a fun game of Mao we had going until Steve Chen came, won two straight rounds, and made rules involving college-level math.
