Swamp's problem is his pathological need to be acknowledged. The more you guys ignore/block him, the more desperate he becomes to be noticed. There are probably some abandonment issues from his childhood that need to be worked through.
Yeah, but it's still weird to watch it unfold. Most people seek out groups on the internet they can feel a part of in some fashion. Even trolls just go away eventually once people get sick of using them as a pinata.
swamp doesn't just seek attention, he deliberately seeks
negative attention. Which is why I semi-jokingly tie it in to his masochism every once in a while. It's hard to imagine they aren't rooted in the same thing, psychologically.
