Over the years I encountered a pretty decent chunk of players who were in a similar position. It's surprising how many 'trolls' behave the way they do simply because the RP community has failed to reach out to them. Some people are just wankers for the sake of being wankers, though others have somewhat legitimate reasoning for their behaviour. I feel sorry for anyone who ends up slipping through the net as it's pretty easy for that to happen, especially when the majority of role-players end up sticking with their little groups and refuse to branch out or teach fresh blood the ropes.
That's very true. I've yet to meet a troll that I've acknowledged who hasn't, when confronted politely, agreed to leave or even apologized. This situation pains me; I'm happy you helped him but I feel that it must have hurt his feelings so much that people just ignored him back when he needed help. I always hope for better when I think of RPers, and of course I feel that those who neglected to reach out to him were exceptions to the rule. I hope at least. I'm never going to get mad over trolls because I know that many of them aren't just looking to be jerks, they're just doing things because they don't always realize how much it means.
