Sorry Rain and Jilu, looks like y'all aren't true trolls after all, apparently it only counts if you're just trying to be a jerk.

    Some creepy stuff.."These findings provide a preliminary glimpse into the mechanism by which sadism fosters trolling behavior," the article says. "Both trolls and sadists feel sadistic glee at the distress of others. Sadists just want to have fun ... and the Internet is their playground."

    I have seen this a lot in comments elsewhere on the internet. Especially racist comments. The troll/sadist doesn't have to work hard at all to throw down a racist insult that will certainly get folks stirred up. I assume there are many times more trolls/sadists making racist insults than there are actual racists making racist insults.
