What Makes Internet Trolls Tick?

For some of you, this post will hit close to home. It's meant to.

New research on the Dark Tetrad and loneliness illuminates online abuse.

Because loneliness represents a state of chronic frustration and unmet need, it can trigger aggression toward others as a way to discharge tension or express oneself—even if in maladaptive ways.

when people are bullied in the real world, they are more likely to act out on the internet.

The Dark Tetrad is different from the Dark Triad in that in addition to narcissism, machiavellianism and psychopathy, it also includes a direct measure of sadism. Sadism is when people get pleasure and gratification, especially with a sexual charge, from the pain, suffering or humiliation of others.

In the presence of loneliness, machiavellianism, psychopathy and sadism all were associated with increased internet trolling. Moreover, when higher levels of loneliness accompanied higher levels of machiavellianism or psychopathy, internet trolling was even more likely.

It's time to move on, and much like a habit, it's hard to break, but viewing some of you through a small lens is depressing and so here's a PSA before I break the habit of logging onto the GB between deadlines.

You should have the guts to troll the GB with your PG ID.

Let your friends really see you.

I don't trust any poster who "joined" within the last year.

You were recently banned for trolling. Is this a cry for help?

What Makes Internet Trolls Tick?

A watch up their rectum.
A time-bomb under their chair.
Un-diagnosed Tourettes or Parkinsons.

Lots of things bro.

I don't trust any poster who "joined" within the last year.

Nor do I, given that the vast majority of them were created using one of the seven VPNs that Conager uses.

I don't trust anyone who joined after me.

I don't trust anyone from after Apr 2002.

Anyone who joined before jan 2020 is just an alt.

Always projection with you, isn't it, Bobbie?

Other than Queerbaiter, that was a declared alter-ego, I've never "trolled" with an alt.

I haven't created an alt in years, and never using a VPN. Didn't have to, back then. You are, quite obviously, intimately familiar with the process.* Your latest "Skiddles" alt above was created just three weeks ago.

*odd thing for a guy who has "never" used an alt (No, not ONCE!, Honest.) to have any idea about.

 

[Hugh_Essay]

Looks like someone got under connie's skin. Poor little fella.

 

[Conager]

Looks like someone got under Rob's skin. Poor, cowardly pussy

Agreed!

You can always tell when Rob is feeling cornered because he withdraws and sends in. . . you.

 

[Hugh_Essay]

In your fantasies does he beckon me with a light in the sky like batman or is there a direct line?

 

[Ziggins]

The simpler explanation is they'll do anything that's not boring and doesn't require physical fitness.

 

[Conager]

You do realize that *you* are actually here, as predicted, right? *You* as Skiddles showed up to deflect for Rob. I did not "fantasize" you into existence. You are here, deflecting. As predicted, *he* absented himself, and *you* showed up.

That happened, as predicted. I'll leave it to *you* to explain.

Thanks puk!

Your mom sez hi!

Sounds like Rob, but could be Luk.

Aye Robert, tell ya daughter to come quarantine with me... I got hard dick and hot pockets.

 

[toeskr]

Tiny bloody penis, shuffle board and sheltering in place with all the alts. LAWLZ!

That is puk like. Totally embarrassing.

That's not what AJ said.
