Playing badly on purpose because you can always re-enter if you don't get lucky

But why play a game of "skill" like its bingo? early on i can see taking a risk with a decent hand but to gamble with trash like you see ALOT do is just mind boggling

It usually isn't. :P There are exceptions, but yeah, I'm not a fan.

It's an awful strategy. In the long run you can't win using it.

Can't say can't - I see people doing it all the time and some of them make it to the final table. However, I see many more of them with a string of re-entries (you can see these if you go to the tourney lobby and sort by name) dumping 5, 6, 7 or more rebuys in such that they have to make it to the top 10 to just break even, much less profit - and most of them do not make it to the top 10.

How different is this to playing LAG in early tournament? Your not playing bad to reenter, you're playing loose and have buyins to reenter if your bluff/implied odds based push is called and you fade the board....see its all in how you look at it
and depending on how aggressively(or standard TAG/etc) you play AFTER your first double is more a determination of how good/bad you are playing, I don't particularly like this strategy, but as a frequent late entry player, i see the value in it

Yes, pokeYourFace is right, u gotta make sure ur clicking properly, ur internet is up to par, and make sure u miss a few hands for food here and there. waiting, calling , rushing a fold. all are actually really good elements is online poker. If he was speaking for real in person live poker. His statement is very well said.
