THE TROLL PERSONALITY

Internet troll personality study.

The top journalist at Channel 4 news once told me that when he comes up with a very revealing story he is then subjected to a torrent of abuse from certain members of the public.


Trolls tend to have personality problems such as:

Machiavellianism - the eagerness to manipulate others;

Narcissism - self-obsession, pride, and excessive conceitedness;

Psychopathy - antisocial behavior and the inability to experience remorse or empathy;

Sadism - the enjoyment in causing others pain.

The results of two online studies reveal significant correlations between these problematic traits and cyber-trolling behavior, with sadism ranking as the most common among trolls.

Internet trolls have real personality problems, study shows


Sometimes we delete comments - from people like Salvatore.

From : Salvatore 20 December 2014

To Aangirfan

"You should put my post up on the commentary board where you could then easily refute my assertions.

"It would make you look real smart, smart ass you truly are.

"Censoring my post only serves to prove me right, asshole...

"You do a disservice to your readers, keeping historical information based on facts away from your readers you supposedly love and respect so much, so very much, but you already fuckin' fully well know that.

"Yet another hydra-headed slithering snake web 'master'. 

"You're probably real tight with the spic marrano arab jew "Fr. John/Chechar", big-time mishpucka of the "truth loving", "truth-seeking", "truth-telling" "alternative" media.

"A moslem/asian/chink 'Catholic' school girl in a Catholic convent school in the South of France, LOL. U jackass."

From : Salvatore

This is actually one of the milder comments we have had recently from trolls.


Trolls tend not to comment on posts like these:

CHILD ABUSER SIMON HARRIS WORKED FOR MI5/MI6?

'SECURITY SERVICES DID PESHAWAR SCHOOL MASSACRE'
.

HOOGSTRATEN; PEDO RINGS; CIA; ZIMBABWE.

One reason may be that the trolls are not really interested in revealing the crimes of the elite.

All the trolls are interested in is expressing their hatred of liberals, the handicapped, Jews, Blacks, Moslems, gay kids or whatever.

Hello Aangirfan,
It is disappointing that you have these pointless pests waste your time with their putrid trash. I did not even understand what "Salvatore" was trying to say. I hope you realise that there are many more people who appreciate your work and look forward to visiting the site everyday. I still remember how annoying it was earlier this year when the address of this site changed and it took me a week to find the new place. Please keep up the great work and thanks for what you do.

Dear 'Salvatore':
The only animal I know that spits venom like that is a snake.
Obviously there are other ways to express your point but somehow you are missing the mark, I believe this is what Aang is trying to illustrate. Your comments might be aired if they displayed a bit more... professionalism, in persuing what you feel is an injustice. This I presume is why Aang does not include 'all' of the comments. As a faithful reader I do not believe Aang is shielding me from any kind of the truth at all, their 'fruits' do all the telling they need to do. If the author is missing a fact here or there it is beyond my level of research because it has missed me, which, if that is the case, must have been rather insignificant, in which case, you are making a mountain out of a molehill. By statistics alone, by the amount of 'professional' bloggers that peruse this site for their own material, in persuit of a higher justice, there has only been but a few like 'you'.

I'm sure if you present your argument clearly and concisely, with the parameters of a human being, your grievances might have a forum.

Same here! I have to have my daily fix of Aang.

Aang, I'm wondering about Coleman. You left a cryptic clue, I think, but I didn't get it. Is there anything you can tell us?

PROOF: INTERNET TROLLING AND THE WAR AGAINST GOD


WE SHALL DESTROY GOD
3. But even freedom might be harmless and have its place in the State economy without injury to the well-being of the peoples if it rested upon the foundation of faith in God, upon the brotherhood of humanity, unconnected with the conception of equality, which is negatived by the very laws of creation, for they have established subordination. With such a faith as this a people might be governed by a wardship of parishes, and would walk contentedly and humbly under the guiding hand of its spiritual pastor submitting to the dispositions of God upon earth. This is the reason why IT IS INDISPENSABLE FOR US TO UNDERMINE ALL FAITH, TO TEAR OUT OF THE MIND OF THE "GOYIM" THE VERY PRINCIPLE OF GOD-HEAD AND THE SPIRIT, AND TO PUT IN ITS PLACE ARITHMETICAL CALCULATIONS AND MATERIAL NEEDS.

Extract from 'The Protocols of Zion, Protocol no. 4'

There is a YouTube clip titled "Christians get smashed to tiny idiotic shards by English Atheists" You will find it here. Note its 931,000 viewings.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ea6w3zp-dYY

Scrolling through the comments, about halfway down the page there is a thread started by one 'Jeff Brown'. If anyone cares to study this thread, particularly its later contributions, they will find textbook proof of organised, dishonest and malicious internet trolling by a group of posters who are, quite obviously an organised 'team'.

At a certain stage, when these people must have got tired of exchanges that they could not win, they all started "replying" to someone called 'Scott Zimmerman'.
It took a while to realise this, but 'Scott Zimmerman' does not exist anywhere on this or any other thread.
These posters were replying to a non-existent contributor in order to drive those who would challenge their propaganda off the thread and out of public view.

Further (rather comical) proof of their dishonest methods came when, after I caught them out, 'Sebastian Weetabix' accused me (banjo234) of being 'Scott Zimmerman'.

Ho, ho.

Notice, too, how these trolls give the non-existent 'Christian protagonist' they attack a Jewish name. Maybe this raised a giggle in the office (on the other hand perhaps this detail, also, is habitual and the joke is too worn out by now to generate even a smile).

The arguments (pro or anti) are obviously irrelevant to these people (and their employers). All that matters is the propaganda.

Here is a list of the names of the posters (all presenting a slightly different persona) who engaged in this tactic:

Jeff Brown
Denkanator
Sebastian Weetabix
Mr Planx
Jordy Van Ekelen

It is highly improbable that these characters are all the work of one demented God-hater. There are many articles about such trolling online.

Well, here's another one with the evidence to prove it.

Anyone who studies the comment threads online ('Alternet' particularly) that promote militant atheism (and often are drowning in highly offensive anti-Christian rhetoric) can observe similar exchanges.

I believe close study of the vile attacks on Christianity that appear just about everywhere such debates arise would reveal that this kind of trolling exists on a very large scale.

Who could hate Christianity and even belief in a creator consciousness we call 'God' so much?

Those who are determined to govern our minds.

And destroy our very souls.

That's who.

Many thanks. I'm sorry to say I know nothing about why Coleman has not posted for some time.

The thing is : I DID present an argument "clearly and concisely" to Aangirfan, very much within "the parameters of a human being" ; My "clear and concise" argument, complete with source references [ I included Search Terms to back-up my assertions ] was Censored and thrown into the cyber trash bin nonetheless.

You don't know if the point I made in the censored post was significant or "insignificant" as the post was Censored by Aangirfan. You don't know if the point I made was significant or not, yet you presume to know my comment was "insignificant" without even reading it [ "This I presume" ].

I wrote a comment/post to Aangirfan, a fact-based, cogent, articulate, post, complete with Search Terms to back-up my assertions. I wrote the comment in good faith, it was NOT a "troll"-like post, it got Censored.

Good day to you, Mr. Presumptuous at "Anonymous". Why are you "Anonymous"? Didn't your mommy give you a name? The only animals I know without names are wild animals -- like skunks for example.

I experienced the above-mentioned organized 'team trolling' on my Facebook page recently - it was pretty obviously being coordinated by one particular individual who dragged in friends who posted one abusive and uninformed comment after another. The venom was contagious. The subject was Sandy Hook, and the 500+comment attack climaxed with the arrival of a new gang from Connecticut who all claimed to know "families who lost children" but who, on inspection, did not seem to be real people. Two even appeared to be (possible) child traffickers as their FB pages features multiple photos of children -- the excuse being they were elementary school teachers. A great preponderance of the colour purple in these photos. I came to the conclusion there was coordinated trolling going on on a massive scale to silence critics of the official story.

Many thanks Anne.

The trolls have ruined a lot of the big forums.

...riiight...so.what was your post about?

A couple of years ago I had a conversation on Skype with Peter Joseph about the fact that the trolls were giving Zeitgeist such a hard he had to sue. I've no idea what the outcome of the case was but as I understand it these trolls in particular were a bunch of "skeptiks" working together via the atheist forums......there was a guy calling himself Muertos; he was the worst......Muertos has since stopped trolling (as I recall he found God - most ironic - hee hee) but there are, or were, lots of others.

There is indeed a typical troll mentality. This lot were in general young and arrogant. They called themselves "debunkers". It seemed to me that they were perhaps young academics or PhD students, perhaps being paid to protect the status quo by the security services. Their arguments were cerebral.....they loved the verbiage. They thought they were so clever.

Here, I want to say that I am not a Zeitgeist supporter - I think TZM is a load of bull. But I found Peter Joseph to be an OK enough bloke. We're all entitled to our own opinions but did you know that these sicko trolls had even contacted his elderly parents to have a go at him?

Good luck to you, Aang. As I have already said, I need my daily fix of your excellent work. The fact that you are being trolled demonstrates how top class it is. Cheers.

Sorry, I also wanted to say to Anne - and Aang - how sorry I am that they have had to experience this vitriol.

Same over at tpuc, lots of atheists for the best part couldn't contain there hatred of God exposing there worst traits laid bare for all to see, they had a special hatred of anyone who mentioned Jesus also, which kinda gave the game away, but ironically offered those who mentioned him by name further reassurances that they had the best moral compass to guide them through the debates before the eventual trolling led inevitably led to insults and derailing of otherwise informative topics, eventuality took its course and the "personal insults" was always enough just to get the threads locked only the nice guy got banned each time....We all know who is going to win this war, when its away from the forums and internet skin will be skin and bone will be bone!
