Is Trolling a Mental Illness

[The Best Holliday]

Of COURSE Admin is confused. Fucking hell.

We don't do that here. If you are not able to control yourself, please exit quietly.

PS: your post was reported along with another for personal attack and off topic..

Any similarities between personality disorders discussed, and anyone viewing is probably just a coincidence, or something.

Transformation is a slow process. Consider that 5 years ago when I arrived it was almost wall to wall posts of animals and humans shitting, and other equally disgusting posts. Today we have a Sports Board and Politics Board. There is even subs which are out of bounds to trolling (like this one). See? even though there are times of devolution as we have been recently experiencing, the long trend is positive and here you can see the last gasps of the flametard lamenting the lose of their haunts and also the mean spirited troll sorts. Progress will be made in cycles. That's how evolution works.

Aaahh i see. So how long have you coming to troll boards now? Like 15...20 years?

There was a politics board here when we colonized the place. And a sports board. The older membership that left just didnt use it.

Yup sports and politics are new here and have never been needed here until flametown invaded BF

"Flametards" go to forums specifically meant for that sort of thing to engage in mischief and balderdash of the sort with other like minded people.

Even Reddit has a "Roast me" board where people post photos and invite redditors to roast them. Its a game. And outlet. Done by people who are consenting and voluntarily participating.

Whats fucking weird is for someone who finds all that stupid or "cowardly"(lol wut?) or claims to hate it......yet repeatedly comes to a forum specifically meant to host that behavoir and complains about it.

If you hate trolling and flaming so much and look down your snooty little snout at people who find amusement in it.....WHY would be hanging out on boards that exist for that purpose?

You do this to yourself. There are plenty of places on the internet where everyone is coddled and plays nices and talks about fishing and 60s music and how much they hate religion and how enlightened they are.....youd probably more suited on one of those and the scary, icky trolls and "flametards" wouldnt be touching any of your no no spots.

Js.

You are correct, clearly this Rhodes Kill scholar is not mature enough to post at any "reputable" and "intelligent" forum thus he places a soapbox on the ground and proceeds to stand upon it while delivering a squealing, sanctimonious oration full of feigned outrage and hyperbolic platitudes. I am confident that he makes a "tut tut" sound with his tongue after each pithy statement as he pirouettes about the forum dispensing handfuls of bullshit that he, with a straight face, declares doth not stink.

Truly a post made by a self-righteous, clown show wearing buffoon, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.

Plus I bet he has his pants on backwards.

This is pure retardation milked from the anus of the OP ..
Pure troall bait and I for one will not participate

I have not read such profound words of wisdom in a long time...bravo sir.

Sadly, we will be/are doing a lot of reporting here. Thankfully we have mods trained to remove offensive posts and if need be block access by repeat offenders.

Very illuminating:

Exposing a Troll: The Dark Pentad of Personality Traits​

Before going into the case study, let’s remind ourselves of the pathology of a troll. In a great number of situations, trolls will use usernames by which they cannot be directly identified in order to conduct their unlawful behaviour. Many of them do not seem to realise that

as everything online can be tracked and cybercrime including

leading to convictions.



The reason for this anonymity is to be able to get away with dark pathological behaviour demonstrated by those with the Dark Triad of personality traits. (I referenced it as a triad in my previous article, but

are putting sadism as the fourth, making it a tetrad, which I will agree with and will consider Schadenfreude as the fifth, so here briefly is the Dark Pentad!)

1. Narcissism — an obsession with self, either partially obsessed or totally obsessed. At the extreme, someone who is totally obsessed with self is a malignant narcissist.
2. Machiavellianism — a personality trait that denotes cunningness, the ability to be manipulative, and a drive to use whatever means necessary to gain power.
3. Psychopathy — a pathology characterised by a lack of empathy, continuous antisocial, behaviour impulsivity, selfishness, callous and unemotional traits and remorselessness.
4. Sadism - the intentional infliction of psychological or physical suffering on a conscious victim [

   ]
5. Schadenfreude - feeling pleasure at the misfortunes of another and essentially wishing for bad outcomes for them. [

Of course all of this as the short vid you linked mentioned is underpinned by cowardice. None of these people would stand in front of the people they taunt online and say those things.
. You know, there is a recent case I've noticed of a troll simply repeating back what a poster they want to offend has themselves written. Remember in grade school the kid that would immediately repeat whatever you said back to you? LoLz. Same exact mentality. Classic case of arrested development at the grade school level.
"There but for the grace of god go I".

Should catfishing be added to the topic or is it an entirely different thing?

It overlaps a bit, but still may be different enough to be its own topic.

We do have a fishing thread....
Oh, oh I've heard of that. In a way maybe it's more egregious since it is a "RL" thing which you can't as easily walk away from. As much as trolling is criminal, for that reason catfishing is even more criminal. I mean like lock em up criminal. Then again, I have suggested locking up trolls.

What do you mean by cat fishing? Do you mean when trolls play a character? Because that is just silliness that really harms no one

Or do you mean someone completely faking who they are to scam another person in real life? Like romance scammers and the like?

Because that is sociopathy imo.

Of course real life carfishing is worse, but online catfishing is very odd, as well. I don't know why anyone pretends to be a person of the opposite gender specifically.

 

[Fredricka]

What do the troll experts think about trolls who pretend not to be trolls?

 

[The Best Holliday]

Just a way of exercising the gender confusion (or inability to live to societal standards) that they wouldn't be comfortable with in their daily lives, assuming they have one (offline lives, that is). Of course we see plenty of that here even on this little outpost - without naming names of course, but they are as obvious as those who claim great status as say renowned internet influencers or possessors of high status items...cars and whatnot. All very sad and suggesting a great lacking in their personal lives.

Now, there is another aspect of this which is the male poster who is desperately trying to pass themselves off as heterosexual. One of the strangest and most revealing of these are the ones who create computer gen'd images of supposedly ideal women but they come out in a hypermasculinized form, with ripped abs, bulging thigh muscles etc, but generally also enormous boobs providing cover for what is obvious desire for manly physique, or possibly longing for mommy, or the mommy-daddy figure.

. So in conclusion, as you know from the reading, troll=retard (and have I not said so for years, even decades? - true as it ever was), but trolls are not simply retards they are malevolent retards. Subhuman, selfish shit which time and human evolution will eradicate in its natural order. Until then, however, they will remain the epitome of human wastefulness and stupidity - one only need read the pukrid drivel writ by the Meltdown Meatheads here on theBadTardFactory for confirmation.

Finally you're back. Was this absence a troll? What do the troll experts say about it?
