"You had a PM? You mean BM, right? LOL!!" Even for a Troll you have a severe personality disorder. You have no business on an adult message board. You should be outside playing with 9 year olds and spewing puerile taunts back and forth. Here is your most recent "contribution" to SI. Not just personal attacks...but oh so dimwitted, mindless, childish, and disturbed. Do you have nothing in your life but your juvenile trolling? Well...I guess you don't. Your posts read. Message 29737625 Message 29737631 Message 29737635 Message 29737638 Message 29737650 Message 29737660 Message 29737662 Message 29737698 They really ought to just turf you. You are an embarrassment to this thread and you are a disgrace to SI. It really upset you when we pointed out the studies that show with certainty what a disturbed individual you are. You can cackle and mutter mindless epithets all you want. But you are clearly a disturbed and lonely individual performing the sad function of stalking father figures you feel inferior to and snapping at their heels. What a useless GOOF!! Great study and well conducted and referenced. So nobody can doubt that internet trolls are indeed “Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Sadists”--as was found in this Scientific study! So you see why I have repeatedly said that nobody likes a troll. They are disturbed and unbalanced people and they bring trouble wherever they troll. “Look at how low the scores are for everyone except the internet trolls! Their scores for all four terrible personality traits soar on the chart. The relationship between this Dark Tetrad and trolling is so significant, that the authors write the following 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!" 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. References Buckels, Erin E., Paul D. Trapnell, and Delroy L. Paulhus. "Trolls just want to have fun." Personality and Individual Differences67 (2014): 97-102.”
