So This is How a Troll Thinks?

Ediskrad posted a journal entry (http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/658756/) regarding the recent case of a doctor, a mother, and a 9-year-old girl who were excommunicated by the Catholic church because the daughter had an abortion after being raped and impregnated.
One user, Sangy, posted this delightful example of the state of human decency as a comment on the entry: "Am I the only one here who would've liked to see that girl go through with her pregnancy? >.> Though, I must admit that it's not for moral reasons. :devilshgrin:"
Mm hm. That's right. Real life child rape and potentially lethal pregnancies are hot, yo.
The outpouring of wank is fast, furious, and completely expected. Normally I would just scan the comments to avoid raising my blood pressure, but reading Sangy's justifications for his comment made me honestly question his mental state. I posted a reply to him, mentioning I wasn't sure whether to classify him as an eloquent, stubborn troll or as an honest-to-God sociopath, with an afterthought that if I ever met him in person, I would happily punch him in the dick. It was, in total, a three sentence reply.
Several hours later, I received a PM from him, which I've copy/pasted here in full. Warning: It's rather teal deer.
The first comment was mostly a joke. It got so many comments from people with no grasp of the english language that I decided to have some fun with it. You're the first person to speak with intelligence, so I thought I'd let you in on it. Just don't tell the other people hanging around there. I don't care what they think of me, because I'm pretty sure they don't think a whole lot about anything.
In direct response to your comment...both would be true. I'm having fun egging on the idiots, and I must admit I'm a bit of a sociopath. I have my own reasons why I don't do certain things, but I don't believe in ethics or morallity. I believe in logic, and it is illogical to base my life choices on something as foolish as laws or social norms. It was illegal in my state to masturbate up until the early 2000s. It still is considered immoral by a large percentage of the population. I'm pretty sure everyone on this website masturbates without any guilt.
You're going to say that's not the same as "rape babies," and that is because it's not the same. It's just a much better example, because it's something we can agree society is wrong about. Morallity is foolish, and so are a lot of things society as a whole believes in. The problem is people aren't deciding things for themselves. By definition, that makes me a sociopath, because I don't believe in following society. However, having sex with another man and not feeling bad about it also makes me one.
It's amusing how people will tend to repond so viscerally in favor of something immoral that they believe in, but will make threats on someone's life for doing something they don't like. Example: Someone who marches in the streets trying to ban abortion because all life is precious, yet would be the shit out of someone just for being gay.
Anyway, just because I don't believe in morallity, doesn't mean I don't believe in boundaries. Reality exists outside of society's perceptions, and it is possible for a single man to be right and the entire world be wrong. A few hundred years ago, a man would be a heretic for insisting the earth revolved around the sun. It's because of people like me that society has progressed at all. It will take more of the same for us to progress further yet.
Where does one draw the line? Well, that is the real question, isn't it? A Jehova's Witness believes you are doing a greater service to let a man die than to give them a blood transfusion. I think that is absurd, but they don't. However, I would not force them to denounce their beliefs. You see, my line in the sand--so to speak--is that one can not force anything on anyone. Forcing someone to go against their beliefs is as bad as raping them, in my beliefs.
Well...that was way too long, so I'm stopping...hopefully, you are satisfied.
TL;DR: I really really reeeeeally want to tell someone what a clever and ingenious troll I am but if you tell anybody else they'll KNOW I'm a troll and it'll ruin all my fun! Also, I did it for the lulz, and I apparently think I am a Vulcan.
Why he picked me, I have no idea. But for the sake of hilarity, I'm glad.

FA+

Just don't tell the other people hanging around there.
Now you know darn well he wants others to that, plus any other notes he's mentioned to others. If not, WHOOPS.
I love how he keeps going off track with the topic and starts on others as well. I'm amazed this guy even HAS beliefs to be honest, much less any concern for human life. I mean, he DID mention he doesn't value human life, right?
Seriously, he`s a sociopath? I don`t think so, he just wants to look and COOL AND TOUGH, a true sociopath doesn`t participate in communities like this, he`s just furry garbage to be honest.
Funny how he thinks he can measure a person intelligence only thru pixels in a computer screen. BECAUSE HE`S SO SMART AND INTELLIGENT HUUUUUUUUURRRRR :B
Seriously, he`s a sociopath? I don`t think so, he just wants to look all COOL AND TOUGH, a true sociopath doesn`t participate in communities like this, he`s just furry garbage to be honest."
I CAN TYPE GUD DURP :D
and that's the only reason that he's doing this, since it's practically GUARANTEED to get responses, and journals devoted to it, and by proxy devoted to him.
An "attention-whore" is someone seeking positive attention only. a troll seeks any attention, and negative attention, to them is better than none at all.
lol
