Study Done on Internet Trolls
Had to repost this here because it made me think of you psychopaths:
Study Done on Internet Troll Personality Here's a gem from the article: They even constructed their own survey instrument, which they dubbed the Global Assessment of Internet Trolling, or GAIT, containing the following items: I have sent people to shock websites for the lulz. I like to troll people in forums or the comments section of websites. I enjoy griefing other players in multiplayer games. The more beautiful and pure a thing is, the more satisfying it is to corrupt Yes, some people actually say they agree with such statements. And again, doing so was correlated with sadism in its various forms, with psychopathy, and with Machiavellianism. I dunno- I like to troll a little on the internet but I think I'm a decent person IRL. I thought most people liked to troll, but maybe that's just the mind of a sadist.

I think there is a difference between trolling and just being silly/poking fun/playing a harmless practical joke. I think of trolling as the people that send gore pictures to a family that just lost their kid in a car accident. Those people are disgusting.
