Trolls! :-)

If you have something so weird, strange or off-topic to post and think it doesn't belong in any other forum; you're probably right. Please put all your gormless, half-baked, inane, glaikit ideas in here. This might also be a place where we throw threads that appear elsewhere that don't belong ANYWHERE end up, instead of having to flush them. FORUM RULES STILL APPLY.

this thread is not all about you. it is about trolls. no need to derail and call us names.
if you don't like what you see, just don't comment.
no need to have a persecution complex meltdown.

anyway- back on topic now.
i find this statement highly revealing: The 2013 study found that trolls often have a high expectation of what it means to be successful, which is higher than they are able to attain

this must be why they seek hot button issues or make malicious and untrue statements in an attempt to rile people up.

they are trying to feel better about their own unresolved failures in life by seeking to show the same internal conflicts in others without regard to truth.

the behaviors are called transference and projection.

homophobes exhibit both behaviors in a very obvious way.

their antics are quite amusing in the very thinly veiled attempts to show strangers their "superior" intellect are laughably cack handed and of a very limited repertoire.

usually they are friendless and in the lower socio economic demographic.

the ubiquitous memes revolving around the middle aged guy living in a council bed sit or Mum's basement has a certain element of truth.

Very interesting F L B.

Trolls are like annoying pets, nothing more, nothing less. They have negative point but also advantages over other popular pets - you can't walk a Goldfish

Envy and resentment ring a bell. :mrgreen:

Ed - not sure that you can walk a troll either - always pissing on lamp-posts, licking their balls and trying to hump people's legs :lol:

Sure you can.

Heck, you could call it 'cigarette' and every night you could take it out for a drag.

I think the current Troll (every forum has its Troll problems) has highlighted another opportunity to break new ground with the CEO (Msc free) Model. The organic, open nature of CEO means any problem can be turned into positive, that keeps look at with envy.

Let us not miss the opportunity to turn Trolls into Triumph!
