"The other stuff is just blah, blah, blah...You'll never get it."


No, WWTB the other stuff you're reffering to is not just blah, blah, blah... It is a known fact that your arrogant condescending attitude is what got you banned the last time, and will eventually get you banned again. You define what an internet troll is. You wait to pounch on people with your negative rude comments, and then anxiously wait for them to reply so you can once again attempt to lord your superior self indulged intellect over them. You sit at a keyboard and fill yourself up with a sense of false bravado. You thrive on controversy, as if it was lifes blood to you.

Here are some thoughts on what an internet troll is. Lets just see how much of it applies to you.

An Internet "troll" is a person who delights in sowing discord on the Internet. He (and it is usually he) tries to start arguments and upset people.

Trolls see Internet communications services as convenient venues for their bizarre game. For some reason, they don't "get" that they are hurting real people. To them, other Internet users are not quite human but are a kind of digital abstraction. As a result, they feel no sorrow whatsoever for the pain they inflict. Indeed, the greater the suffering they cause, the greater their 'achievement' (as they see it). At the moment, the relative anonymity of the net allows trolls to flourish.

Trolls are utterly impervious to criticism (constructive or otherwise). You cannot negotiate with them; you cannot cause them to feel shame or compassion; you cannot reason with them. They cannot be made to feel remorse. For some reason, trolls do not feel they are bound by the rules of courtesy or social responsibility.


Is any of this hitting home yet? Lets talk about your need for affirmation.

Regular net users know how delightful it is when somebody responds to something they have written. It is a meeting of the minds, which is an intellectual thrill, but it is also an acknowledgement of one's value — and that can be a very satisfying emotional reward.

Trolls crave attention, and they care not whether it is positive or negative. They see the Internet as a mirror into which they can gaze in narcissistic rapture.

If you want a deeper analysis than that, perhaps a psychologist can shed some additional light on the matter.

There's no need for you to reply WWTB. I'm done with you for now. You should remember though that I've never insulted you personally like you've insulted me. You are one classless individual, and all troll to be sure.
