OT. Resident Troll can't tell a bicycle group from a politicalgroup

It's really sad that one of our Resident Trolls can't even tell a bicycle group from a political group. But I guess that's exactly what makes him a Troll. The ONLY way to stop a Troll is to not feed them and then hope they'll go elsewhere. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/b...hs-and-sadists "a study was published that confirms what we all suspected: Internet trolls are horrible people." "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." And from other sources: "Psychological studies show trolls tend to be male, show higher levels of psychopathy traits — low levels of empathy, guilt and responsibility for their actions — and higher levels of sadism traits, the enjoyment of causing others physical and psychological pain." "Can we treat trolling as an addiction? "Not all trolls exhibit traits like low affective empathy or psychopathy. Some may simply be motivated by negative social rewards, like creating mayhem. And creating mayhem motivates the troll to keep going back for more. Due to the addictive nature of rewards, there may be an addictive element to trolling." "men were far more likely to become trolls. They had higher levels of psychopathy and sadism..." "Trolls usually had poor social skills, too." So, I visualize a fat, decrepit old man who is rather miserable and unsatisfied with his life. He has few flesh-and-blood friends, and compensates by seeking attention on the internet. He gets some satisfaction by bragging about his own wisdom, but that's not sufficient to fix his deep self doubt. So he stokes his addiction by prodding others, in his mind "winning" imaginary fights. Since he doesn't have to fear physical punishment or even shame before his neighbors (who probably know how obnoxious he is anyway) he has no motivation toward self control. He's perfectly happy to destroy a discussion forum for his own twisted attempts at joy. Perhaps this is the best summary: https://psychologia.co/internet-troll/ -- - Frank Krygowski |
