Basement trolls. 1

Heard the phrase the other day on the radio, and I laughed because I automatically knew what it meant and thought of the pub. We all are familiarwith trolling, but the ones that are in their late 20's and above that still live with their parents often times in their basement and they pass the time by trolling. I couldn't help but find humor in the idea. 
Let's further acknowledge the characteristics and atributes of this misunderstood class of people. What are their goals, skills, fears, and what benifit are they to society?

I would want to know why they live where they do, what makes them live there? Do they do it because of deaths in the family and they're there to help out, do they do it because of trouble they have been in with the law and are using it as a stepping stone to get back on their feet, do they do it because of understandable circumstances, or are they just bums?
I have known several people that have done this in their 20's-40's, always some legit reason for them to be doing so though, can't say I knew someone in that situation that did so just because they could.

I grew up as a basement boy. Fortunately at that time there weren't chat rooms or forums invented yet so I didn't have a chance to become a troll. Instead I had really big speakers, a large vinyl collection, pot, and lsd. The reason I became a basement boy is because it was the largest space in the house!
I just had to deal with pretending I was straight when my Mom came down to do laundry! Good times! Good times!

I'm out of the basement now but it's never to late to start a career trolling.
Maybe I should start my trolling career with a post "Using urine to balance nitrogen in trays"

Well, this is all a simulation anyways, so there's nothing to fear. Those basement trolls, are just reveling in the program.

I think a good indicator is someone with thousands of posts and joined less than a year ago.

I live on my own and am an adult. I'll still troll idiots to waste time if I'm stuck sitting somewhere.
