Originally I meant like you said: he has to enjoy the childing itself, but would otherwise want to be left alone. But that would mean that without realizing, he jumps jumps onto every single rake he finds... and that would be baffling insane.
But then I remebered the incredible amount of times he was left alone, but actively tried - very hard - to make the trolls fight him again. Remember that after he was banned from Twitter, people stopped fucking with him for 9 whole fucking months, but as soon as he got it back, HE went to the sub to mock them and let everyone know he was back.
To me that means what is likely to get him off is not the childing, but either the attention or the humiliation. And under that hypothesis he knowingly jumps on every single rake he finds because that turns him on... and that would be even more baffling insane.
Honestly I guess at this point even I don't know myself what aspect of this thing I'm referring to. All I know is I'm just baffled by his insanity... and his bitch tits.
