http://www.alternet.org/media/internet-trolls-explain-why-they-do-what-they-do

This article is actually really interesting. It gives direct quotes from different Internet Trolls explaining their reasons for trolling online. Some do it as the "old version of trolling"... a form of trolling that "used be playful but annoying, a sort of virtual, comedic performance art with the end goal of getting under the skin of a selected online audience."  Others troll for things like "attention, boredom and loneliness".
