"Internet Trolls Are Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Sadists Trolls will lie, exaggerate, and offend to get a response."
Jennifer Golbeck Ph.D. Your Online Secrets [Posted Sep 18, 2014]
"In this month's issue of Personality and Individual Differences, a study was published(link is external) that confirms what we all suspected: Internet trolls are horrible people. Let's start by getting our definitions straight: An Internet troll is someone who comes into a discussion and posts comments designed to upset or disrupt the conversation. Often, in fact, it seems like there is no real purpose behind their comments except to upset everyone else involved. Trolls will lie, exaggerate, and offend to get a response. What kind of person would do this?
Some Canadian researchers decided to find out.
They conducted two online studies with over 1,200 people, giving personality tests to each subject along with a survey about their Internet commenting behavior. They were looking for evidence that linked trolling with the "Dark Tetrad" of personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism. They found that Dark Tetrad scores were highest among people who said trolling was their favorite Internet activity. To get an idea of how much more prevalent these traits To get an idea of how much more prevalent these traits were among Internet trolls, see this figure from the paper:
Look at how low the Dark Tetrad scores are for everyone except the trolls! Their scores for all four traits soar on the chart. The relationship between trolling and the Dark Tetrad is so significant that the authors write in their paper: "... the associations between sadism and GAIT (Global Assessment of Internet Trolling) scores were so strong that it might be said that online trolls are prototypical everyday sadists."
Trolls truly enjoy making you feel bad. To quote the authors once more (because this is a truly quotable article): "Both trolls and sadists feel sadistic glee at the distress of others Sadists just want to have fun ... and the Internet is their playground!"
The next time you encounter a troll online, remember:
1. These trolls are some truly difficult people.
2. It is your suffering that brings them pleasure, so the best thing you can do is ignore them."

There are a few trolls around who try to pick holes in his helpful efforts, but no notice need be taken of those.

I love all these different troll categories, Grampy Bobby! There are a good few in here!
It's the antithesis of 'treat others as you'd have them treat you'. It's a charter for calling everyone you don't like or disagree with a "troll". The word "troll" as it is used here at RHP has evolved into meaning 'someone I have differences with' or 'someone who has just asked me a question I don't want to answer'.
Take a look at http://www.flamewarriorsguide.com/ ... I'd say it's witty, observant, succinct, repeatedly bang on target and, at the very least, not misanthropic and inflexible to its very core.

Originally posted by Grampy BobbyI can't claim I've read them all. I've read enough though to know that your purpose in copying pasting them ~ and then refusing to discuss them yourself ~ is some kind of dull passive aggressive endeavour where you can't be bothered to write your own words or offer your own original insights. You should engage people. Take the risk of writing more material of your own, and stop hiding behind quotations and copy pastes of what other people said. You sell yourself short.
