"… 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."
@JohnTant: "Oh, the trool gets down on his knees in the closet alright, but it sure ain't to pray."
I realized that, uh, that aspect was evident as I wrote it.
Berserker-Dragonheads Division: "You left out the part about placing the gun barrel under the chin."
I thought Ace covered that alternative suggestion well the other day.
Morning, Glories.
De-lurking to note that the trool is trooly trite. I picked up on who it was in the first half-sentence of every troolish comment, and easily skipped the rest.

"This website has embraced the hateful ideology..."
There's some hilarious Team Trolling, but it's too early for popcorn. Doesn't really go with coffee.
BenK has a new post. Hi yo silverfish, awaaaaaay.
Ah, time for me to lead the midnight-Eastern slowdown. Must relocate myself, deal with the end of the day, and probably hit the sack rather than lurk on.
