In an issue of Personality and Individual Differences, a study was published that confirms what we all suspected: Internet trolls are horrible people. An Internet troll is someone who starts or comes into a discussion and posts comments designed to upset or disrupt the conversation, or are used, as in the case of one comb-over toting ex-president who shall remain anonymous, to foster his lies and misinformation.
BUT what about trolls in disguise…say…a highly intelligent philanthropist who spouts his venom in a personal website like this one to mask his vitriolic comments in the guise of entertainment? I think we can all agree that person is really cool and deserving of your love and support; emotional and financial!
