I did a "seach" in the topic box and found 44 threads on "troll", now what does that reveal about trolling?

Bridge trools-talk sh*t

Tree trools-throw sh*t

Cave trools-eat sh*t

I will say this in praise of einstein99 - I have never, ever seen him talking sh*t or throwing sh*t.

He's smarter than that.

"Abstract

In two online studies (total N = 1215), respondents completed personality inventories and a survey of their Internet commenting styles. Overall, strong positive associations emerged among online commenting frequency, trolling enjoyment, and troll identity, pointing to a common construct underlying the measures. Both studies revealed similar patterns of relations between trolling and the Dark Tetrad of personality: trolling correlated positively with sadism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism, using both enjoyment ratings and identity scores. Of all personality measures, sadism showed the most robust associations with trolling and, importantly, the relationship was specific to trolling behavior. Enjoyment of other online activities, such as chatting and debating, was unrelated to sadism. Thus cyber-trolling appears to be an Internet manifestation of everyday sadism."
