NEW FORUM MEMBERS

We seem to have had a very large number of new Users on our forum in the last couple of weeks.

I wonder if some of them actually are Witton Supporters, or just other team supporters coming on here trying to create mischief?

Yes I thought it was a bit of a coincidence that Adwarvesdinner started piping up with his nonsense not long after the other prat (or the same prat?) DDH got banned. I’m in no doubt there are several other non wittoners hiding behind stupid usernames too :whistle:

What do you mean piping up with nonsense?! That’s not a very nice way to welcome new posters is it? Ever likely this board consists of half a dozen folk!

If that’s the case then they are very sad individuals who have nothing better to do,probably still live with their parents and obviously don’t have a Mrs!

It will all calm down if we beat Lancaster, if not God help us!!
WHS.

Internet Trolls Are Narcissists, Psychopaths, and Sadists

An Internet troll is someone who comes into a discussion and posts comments designed to upset or disrupt the conversation. Often, in fact, it seems like there is no real purpose behind their comments except to upset everyone else involved. Trolls will lie, exaggerate, and offend to get a response.

What kind of person would do this? Some Canadian researchers decided to find out.

They conducted two online studies with over 1,200 people, giving personality tests to each subject along with a survey about their Internet commenting behavior. They were looking for evidence that linked trolling with the “Dark Tetrad” of personality traits: narcissism, Machiavellianism, psychopathy, and sadism.

They found that Dark Tetrad scores were highest among people who said trolling was their favorite Internet activity. To get an idea of how much more prevalent these traits were among Internet trolls, see this figure from the paper:

Look at how low the Dark Tetrad scores are for everyone except the trolls! Their scores for all four traits soar on the chart. The relationship between trolling and the Dark Tetrad is so significant that the authors write in their paper:

“… the associations between sadism and GAIT (Global Assessment of Internet Trolling) scores were so strong that it might be said that online trolls are prototypical everyday sadists.” [emphasis added]

Trolls truly enjoy making you feel bad. To quote the authors once more (because this is a truly quotable article): “Both trolls and sadists feel sadistic glee at the distress of others. Sadists just want to have fun … and the Internet is their playground!”

The next time you encounter a troll online, remember:

These trolls are some truly difficult people.
It is your suffering that brings them pleasure, so the best thing you can do is ignore them.
