All of them, at one point or another. I voted "Mental Masturbation", because that's really what we're all doing here.

I didn't know what to vote, I like "trolling" but I don't like pissing people off and I don't like encouraging rants. So I voted with Timminz, because it sounds funny, and surfing the forums tickles my funny brain cell.

Any of the top three, depending on the situation and my mood. I ended up voting for the top option because it paints me in the best light, and I'm awesome.

Really, all of them at one point or another. Just depends on my mood. Sometimes I'm not in the mood to even get involved, but when I am, it's for various reasons, including but not limited to all of the above.
I voted for "Edumucating Stoopid Posters" just because I can be an asshole and so probably come off as trying to do that sometimes.
Edit: Wow, the poll is surprisingly even at this point. 25% for everything except "arguing for the sake of arguing."

yeah KoolBak you should allow for multiple options and not make it just 1 choice

You should also change it to where we can change our vote. For now, the people who have already voted can't add more votes. Or at least, I can't.
Also, big surprise that Mental Masturbation is now leading the poll.

i realize that "educating others" is an option on the poll, but i think "educating ourselves" is more accurate.
i don't think any of us are altruistic enough to spend all this time forcing our worldview onto random internet strangers just so that they can "become educated"

Finding out what other people truly think. You missed that option and I would say that its often the most important one.
