Trolls

Interesting findings - I'd like to read the journal article. I wonder if the anonymity associated with internet enhances sadism, etc. Meaning, this could be a chicken-egg situation: do sadistic people go the internet to troll, or does going to the internet make people sadistic trolls?

 

Also, I've done original research in the area of Machiavellianism and psychopathy, and I can offer that both of those things are conceptually very similar. In fact, a good argument can be made that they are essentially the same construct that are just labeled different things.

Was this biographical research?

Yes, technically, the research was, in part, on a guy named Niccolo Machiavelli.

 

However, I think you intended to imply that it was autobiographical research. But because you have an IQ on par with mulch, you fucked it up.

god dammit! I got autobiography and biography backwards.

 

I do however appreciate your intentionally condescending and sadistic tone to your response.

 

Good day, sir.
