Online Internet trolls are psychopaths and sadists

[wa3zrm]

Canadian researchers have confirmed what most people suspected all along: that internet trolls are archetypal Machiavellian sadists.
In a survey conducted by the group of psychologists, people who partake in so-called trolling online showed signs of sadism, psychopathy, and were Machiavellian in their manipulation of others and their disregard for morality.

If that is a shot against the mods or a particular mod you better clean up your act. You had a permanent ban that we decided to lift quite some time ago for you. If you don't appreciate the kind gesture of good will we extended to you we can always reinstate that ban mate.

Never come to England. England thrives on sarcasm. It's a way of cutting somebody down who has a big ego.....so it's quite the opposite.

Some Brit tried to cut me down with her sarcasm (and her horrendous "American" accent) on a boat ride in Cairns, but I wasn't having any of that..... I gave that wench a bad case of the sea sickness.

Suffice to say, she got pretty miffed by the end of the day.

After NZ, I want to fly to England to **** with you lot... Blowback. What can I say? It humORs me............. :angel:

LMFAO...good answer.

This "fun" thread made me think of something I just stumbled across a couple of days ago.

Trolls and Sarcasm pale in comparison to the real underbelly of the web: Dark Net!

Many of you guys may already be aware of this "other" internet. I wasn't.

What I took from my initial groping around about Dark Net and what it all mean't was......don't even click on it!

There are "eyes" believe me that monitor people who even attempt to search it out.

Yes.....if you are the daredevil type you can dive into this under world but if you believe you are safe I've got a bridge I want to sell you real cheap.

Trolls?

Your next door neighbor is a Troll.

Whenever I meet someone from the UK they always tell me i have such a british sense of humor. I'm never sure if thats a compliment or not, I've come to realize that almost 100% of the words I say are sarcastic.
