Stop and think before you answer?

I am starting to think that "Trolling" and folks starting new topics are disguised as being innocent, but actually deceiving as so many forum users are apt to jump on any thread that starts.

Is it just me and my tin-foil hat? The momentary/hourly contribution to every post that begins is, not sure, some how "punked"? . It used to be a more gradual growth in topics, but lately there is an instant response and soon grows into a you-said-I-said response, leaving a rather negative tone on everything lotro. Any thoughts are appreciated.
