That scientific troll study really got your goat, eh? My...but aren't we enraged now, TROLL boy!
I doubt you are having too much fun as an opportunistic TROLL boy standing nakedly exposed for the pathetic, weak-minded, frightened troll that you are! But it is interesting being attacked by an infantile moron who has braces on his brains. HO! HO!

Now that trolls have been scientifically studied we have a better handle on your type:

"Trolls are “Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Sadists"!

"Both trolls and sadists feel sadistic glee at the distress of others. Sadists just want to have fun ... and the Internet is their playground!"

So next time you encounter a troll online, remember a few things. (1) These trolls are some truly messed up people and (2) it is your suffering that brings them pleasure, so the best thing you can do is ignore them."

Personality and Individual Differences67 (2014): 97-102.”An internet troll is someone who comes into a discussion and posts comments designed to upset or disrupt the conversation. Often, 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.
