The definition of trolling:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,[1] by posting inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a forum, chat room, or blog), either accidentally[3][4] or with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[5] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.

Sound familiar?
Come on PH, you don't need to stoop to these kind of tactics to generate web traffic.
The latest one 'tuning cars is a waste of money';
Of course it is. I don't think anyone tunes a car on the assumption that they'll profit from it (or if they do, they'll only make this assumption once), however cars are engineered to suit the masses and there is always scope to modify/tune a car to suit the individual.
Yes it costs money that you're unlikely to recoup (never mind profit) but isn't that true of being into cars as a whole?
Then the previous article:
The title "Front-wheel drive rules!" (i.e. front wheel drive is the best)
But then the article backpedals to say "this is not a which is better, front- versus rear-wheel drive debate".
