@eddieizzard @CCDHate Here's a fine little piece of research on the psychology of the troll. It's fairly scary. https://t.co/V4rGXHbZha

A study found that Internet trolls tended to have personality traits related to sadism, psychopathy and Machiavellianism, and that the link between trolling and sadism was the strongest out of all three traits. https://t.co/diwMuUR8IZ

Mildly interesting. One might wonder whether trolling is an indicator that more definite action than blocking is in order. https://t.co/DrGn2pnHs7

“Of all personality measures, sadism showed the most robust associations with trolling and, importantly, the relationship was specific to trolling behavior...cyber-trolling appears to be an Internet manifestation of everyday sadism” Don’t feed the trolls!

Just block them and be happy you are not like them.

Internet trolls show “sadism” personality traits. They really are winding people up because they enjoy causing distress. Don’t give them the pleasure of your response. Just block. https://t.co/wwvnVnf8c9

Remember y'all. Trolls are bad people; bad faith actors. They are there to hurt you, using your empathy against you. But that's their weakness too, because it allows you to spot them. Block; report; move on. Victory. https://t.co/V4rGXHbZha

I had a - much appreciated - retweet by @MollyMEP, and immediately there were trolls on the thread. Not a bad infestation, but they do follow notable figures like Molly around. Notice, that they are awful people and should be blocked on sight. https://t.c
@patanna @Sanniosingh @MollyMEP Oh, and I've sworn that I should post as often as I can when we are in the presence of trolls (the troll itself is blocked, of course). It's a study that gives evidence that trolls - or their handlers - are genuinely awful

@OneKarlStone @patanna Also, evidence suggests that trolls are the kind of people you'd avoid like the plague in real life. This research article in the topic is behind a paywall, alas, but it's overall conclusions are available. I've read the full study,
@shrewsburymon @fish_in_a_hat For the working of trolls see this research article. It's behind a paywall but the basic thing is that trolls are actually bad people who are online to cause pain and mayhem, and who get off on it. 2/ https://t.co/V4rGXHbZha
