It's easy to assume every person on the Internet who acts obnoxious often is a troll. Thing is, I've seen a lot of Joyrock's arguments and at this point I think I can tell to some extent which ones are trolling (I still bite on some of them, but I digress). The difference is though, sometimes you can tell he actually does care enough to argue legitimately about something, something that he might have some passion about, and isn't doing it just to yank people's chain, and while he comes off as slightly more civil in these arguments he's still very... well, you can tell he doesn't "get" how certain concepts of persuasion, presentation, and argumentation work. I'm not sure if he's legitimately slow or is socially incompetent to some extent, but he clearly just doesn't understand some things.

I personally think it's a case of Internet egotism. We all want to think that everyone on the internet, and particularly in our community, is smart and well adjusted unless we're absolutely sure, because that's us, but some people just don't get things. Joyrock is basically a youtube commenter (take this as you will) that stumbled onto b8 and happens to knows how to use spellcheck.
