Provocative is the new COOL
The more provocative your comments, the more chances you have to get attention.
Now this is fun when someone has the capability of supporting them with logical arguments(yes, we have a couple of them here - its fun to read their posts), but it is extremely idiotic when some dude just logs in, gives his radically illogical '2 cents' and vanishes..trying to give the impression that he's not a 'troll' who lingers over the same thread. In fact, he keeps visiting the thread every two minutes to check how many have noticed his comments, and how many ripples has it created in the peaceful discussion.
