TROLLS Explained

[Scaramouche]

It [anonymity] is a huge, huge accomplice to behaviour that is compelled by a wide range of issues, whether mental health, drugs and alcohol abuse, schadenfreude - just the joy we get from seeing other people fail or suffer.
Everyday sadists and Machiavellians are at work, as well. That's subclinical sadism, so these aren't people who are going out into the world and kidnapping and torturing people, but the everyday variety, people who get pleasure from watching other people get hurt. Some of those harassing others are sadists who need that jolt, that chemical jolt from harming somebody else. They are often bored and discontented, because they are not getting feedback, not otherwise getting the pleasure they need as sadists.

So don't react to them.

A troll on the internet is like a fire starter who wants to watch the results of what they did, If you don't give them what they want they move on. I can't imagine what is in people minds when they respond to these people. Especially if they start the thread.

On a busy board like this in a few hours the thread they started is pages away and by the end of the day all but gone. Just ignore. Every time someone tells them they are a jerk the thread is back at the top and has a fresh start. To be honest, this thread has no real value.

I prefer them to be called "Keyboard Cowboys"....as we wouldn't want to offend the actual troll thats living under the bridge reading this thinking we're insulting his species.

/political correctness lesson for the day!

So Thaiger is a small time wannabe sadist. I always thought as much. Did it say anything about Trolls also suffering from small penis syndrome?

There are people on this board, who are not called trolls by anyone, but who do however start threads and/or participate in threads, which appear on the main page, and are only about presenting pictures of guns and knives.

GUNS and KNIVES. Yes you read it correctly.

Ment to kill people. Again, you read it correctly.

And the only active moderator on this board is one of those people.

So I'd say the definition of a troll is somewhat subjective.
