STAGE ONE: The community is thriving, all are happy, when a Drama Llama suddenly appears. This person makes a controversial, or just plain stupid thread. Members of the community react swiftly and harshly, criticizing the llama or voicing their opinion on the matter, which most likely differs from the llama's At this point the group is unorganized, and merely disagreeing with the llama. The llama will immediately go on the defensive, calling everyone mean or stupid. This will do nothing but aggravate the group further. Snide comments about the llama's intelligence will be made, which the llama regards as outright flamming and may report to a mod. The mod may give a warning to the members, or just ignore the llama, but usually very little action is taken. During the later part of this stage, a small group of members who find each other's attacks on the llama especially funny will start to group together. The is known as a Proto Core. More on this...now.

A community of what? idiots? Most of the time when a drama-maker appears everyone ignores the idiot in question, or pokes a bit of fun at him and he eventually learns is lesson. This mostly happens in mature communities. BUT, in
some communities, the immatuire members do what you just said to seem "cool." That, or the drama-maker is so bad everyone gets pissed off and irritated and hostile towards everybody which breeds more drama until the mods ban him and things settle down.
The moar you know.
