Oh, like you're not the KING of the ad hominem, you fucking faggot shrimp.
Fuck off, you gutless, cowardly worm.

keeping their bootheels on his little pencil neck to the amusement of all.
Internet Trolls Are Narcissists, Psychopaths And Sadists, Says Study
Hartung, and the other conservatives here, aren't trolls... it's you and your
fella left wingers.
In an issue of Personality and Individual Differences, a study was published
that confirms what we all suspected:
INTERNET TROLLS ARE HORRIBLE PEOPLE.
Let's start by getting our definitions straight. They are both similar, but
they do have their differences.
An Internet troll is someone who comes into a discussion and posts comments
designed to upset or disrupt the conversation.
=====
(irony snipped)
"Fuck off, David. Just fuck off with your stupid posts. You've already
admitted you don't post to stimulate debate. Fuck off with your stupid fucking
fake questions."
There was NO reason to post this, unless you are a troll.
=====
Often, in fact, it seems like there is no real purpose behind their comments
except to upset everyone else involved.
(BINGO!)
Trolls will lie, exaggerate, and offend to get a response.
DING DING DING... we have a winner.

They will say and do almost anything to get you as angry as they are. A
response is what both are looking for.
What kind of person would do this and is there a method for how to stop
internet trolls? Some Canadian researchers decided to find out.
They conducted two online studies with over 1,200 people, giving personality
tests to each subject along with a survey about their Internet commenting
behavior. They were looking for evidence that linked trolling with the "Dark
Tetrad" of personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and
sadism.
They found that Dark Tetrad scores were highest among people who said trolling
was their favorite Internet activity. To get an idea of how much more
prevalent these traits were among Internet trolls, see this figure from the
paper.
Look at how low the Dark Tetrad scores are for everyone except the trolls!
Their scores for all four traits soar on the chart. The relationship between
trolling and the Dark Tetrad is so significant that the authors write 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."
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, if you want to know how to stop Internet trolls, which may seem futile,
but sometimes you have to do the hard work for the sake of your mental health,
then the next time you encounter one online, remember:
These trolls are some truly difficult people.
It is your suffering that brings them pleasure, so the best thing you can do
is ignore them.
The only reason that they seem so vile is because a part of themselves is
hurting, and it has absolutely nothing to do with you.
Knew it.
