In a way, you're the same as the people you troll. BYOND has a lot of established ideas about what game developers are supposed to do (make base icons and title screens, then form a team to do the rest) so a lot of people act that way - they think that's how they're supposed to act. There's also an established idea of what a troll is supposed to do, and you often stick to that idea.
I agree, but the thing is I'm not trying to be a role model. I stopped caring about my reputation shortly after I made my third game. In fact, if you read my posts, I never tell people to "be like me", I tell people to be like Notch, or Kaigne, or Kumorii. I just try to get people to recognize when they're doing stupid things, but I'm not trying to actually set an example myself.
I've also always been silly. I don't think I can help that, it's like in my blood to act retarded from time to time. Like how it's in Falacy's blood to be condescending. I get told to "grow up" a lot but it's not that easy.
tl;dr - You are to trolling as this post is to game development.
Thanks for linking that, I had a pretty good laugh.
