   Why does the faggot and such a butthurt loser as you, have to whine about me   
   posting the same thing more than once?   
      
   Because you can't STAND being proven wrong, let alone more than once.

   Of course, these never work, AS INTENDED.   
      
   =====   
      
   An Internet troll is someone who enters an online discussion and posts   
   comments designed to upset or disrupt the conversation.   
      
   "Dark Tetrad" personality traits include narcissism, Machiavellianism,   
   psychopathy, and sadism.   
      
   (someone's been reading my possstss againnnnn)   
      
   In a study of 1200 people, Dark Tetrad scores were highest among people who   
   said trolling was their favorite Internet activity.   
      
   In this month's issue of Personality and Individual Differences, a study was   
   published 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.   
   Study: Internet Trolls and Dark Tetrad Personality Traits   
      
   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 were among Internet trolls, one can refer to tables from the   
   paper showing low Dark Tetrad scores for everyone in the study ... 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." [emphasis added]   
      
   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:   
      
   These trolls are some truly difficult people.   
   It is your suffering that brings them pleasure, so the best thing you can do   
   is ignore them.
