I'm sure that if you asked any body they would eventually come to the conclusion that art is anything that produces emotional reaction,

Trolling is a art, then.
It is, actually. The problem is just that it's by it's very nature nonconsentual, nonobvius (Think modern art; most people are unable to recognize even great works of it as art), and most importnantly subject to the law that 90% of evrything is ****. This means 99% or trolling is people being forced against their will to consume bad art or art they cant distinguish from bad.

There is, however, a few ways to vitness the good, artsy side of trolling: you can go to sites like Art of Trolling where filtering means you get only 80% or so crap rather than 99% crap, or you can study fictionalized depictions of trolling, such as can be found in Homestuck (to many examples to count) or Celestia from MLP:FiM!
Or any greek myth.

Ironically, DF has grossed a surprisingly big amount of money from donations.

That's not what "poor company" means. He means the other games there aren't very good.

Oh. Bay 12 would NOT fall into that category in any way shape or form.
