   > A troll passes through several stages in its life cycle:   
   >   
   > Stage I: Posts inflammatory material to elicit outraged responses. Feeds on   
   > the attention.   
   >   
   > Stage II: Persistent. Not bright enough go away, even when plonked. Thrives   
   > on the attention.   
   >   
   > Stage III: Achieves a truly pathetic state. Trolling becomes an addiction.   
   > Troll constantly nymshifts to avoid killfilters, even though it is always   
   > recognized instantly by all regulars. Trolls with religious fervor and   
   > acquires a martyr complex. Totally addicted to the negative attention.   
   >   
   > Stage IV: Few trolls achieve this status. Beyond pathetic.   
   > Troll now achieves precisely the opposite of intended goal through its   
   > postings. Any readers, even new or casual readers, are able to recognize the   
   > troll's arguments as so obviously devoid of all common sense that they are   
   > immediately inclined towards that which the troll protests. At Stage IV the   
   > troll is almost worth having around as a shining example of what one should   
   > avoid becoming on Usenet. Its arguments tend to push readers towards the   
   > status quo rather than away, thus validating the belief system the troll is   
   > rebelling against. They are still no more entertaining or enlightening than   
   > before.
