If there's none being caused by people around them, they create their own micro-events to try to draw support and attention. The person who thrives on this never realizes just little of a grasp they have on 'their reality' when it's simply being held together by the people that surround them. Welcome to the religion. You're the sacrifice for the beauty and ugliness that is controversy. Little pawn, you feed the beast.

Meanwhile, the system waits in some unstable state until HE reads his email and does the dickslapping. I was able to pollute them with Andromeda Strain.
