This is Why Internet Trolls are Always Grumpy...

Yeah SCIENCE!

Science Confirms: Internet Trolls really are narcissistic, psychopatic, Machaivellian and sadistic.

The research, conducted by Erin Buckels of the University of Manitoba and two colleagues, sought to directly investigate whether people who engage in trolling are characterized by personality traits that fall in the so-called Dark Tetrad: Machiavellianism (willingness to manipulate and deceive others), narcissism (egotism and self-obsession), psychopathy (the lack of remorse and empathy), and sadism (pleasure in the suffering of others).

Slate is troll.

 

Also, the psychologists who did the study got trolled hard by the trolls.

DUG is the ONLY reason I venture into this dismal forum at all. I owe Dug a Malort.

Moral of the story; everyone buy everyone a beer!

It's a win-win situation.
