I once had an over-pompous writing teacher become a large shish kabob in the middle of a lighning storm after failing a psychotic, over-indulged javelin thrower. You can imagine where it went from there. Just WAIT until you see what happens to my in-laws once I get my movie sold. (C'mon, let me have a LITTLE overconfidence, guys!) Ben, Mike and X-Ray do serve one useful purpose, tho. They are the Looniness Litmus Test. If we don't sound like them, we ain't too bad off.

And this seems to work more often then anything else. The last two or three really cool achievements I've made for myself both professionally and personally were because someone torqued my nerves or called me out in some way. Seems like most of us can do for ourselves quite well at what we think is 100%, but end up finding out that we were only doing maybe 80% until we feel the need to flip the bird to a critic or detractor. But, to hell with the low level of the bar. One of my critics at work has at times made those two look like Mensa members. If it helps to break a barrier then it's still a really cool thing.

Of course, in the case of the trolls we are talking about just having a girlfriend and brushing your teeth makes you more successful. the bar is set mighty low. Yep, success is the best revenge.
