So I've been reading this thread and wondering what makes the OP tick. I found the following to be a good fit. In any case, if you ignore him, it will stop.First, trolls are more likely to display noxious personality characteristics, that is, traits that impair one’s ability to build relations and function in a civilised or pro-social way. In a comprehensive examination of their psychological profile, trolls were found to be more Machiavellian (impulsive and charming manipulators), psychopathic (cold, fearless and antisocial), and especially sadist than the overall population. Trolls enjoy harming and intimidating others, so much so that the authors of this study concluded that trolls are “prototypical everyday sadists”, and that trolling should be regarded as online sadism. This is in line with the view of trolling as a form of cyberbullying.

Second, trolling – like other forms of computer-mediated communication – unleashes people’s impulses by providing anonymity and temporary identity loss. This phenomenon, called deindividuation, is well known to psychologists and has been found to emerge in several areas of interpersonal relations, such as gaming, role-playing and crowd behaviours, particularly hooliganism. Thus even when we are not naturally sadistic, trolling may bring out the worst side in us, by lifting the moral constrains and social etiquette that regulates our behaviour in normal situations, and by fuelling dissent and triggering abrasive reactions.

Third, trolling is a status-enhancing activity: by attracting readers’ attention, upsetting people, sparking heated debates, and even gaining approval from others, trolls can feel important, perhaps much more than they are in their real lives. Thus trolling is yet another internet activity that promotes narcissistic motives, since trolls may be expected to be far less successful in attracting people’s attention in the physical world. The only effective antidote to their tactics is to ignore them, but even then trolls won’t suffer a public humiliation because nobody knows who they are. This is what makes trolling so ubiquitous – it requires no skills other than the ability to be obnoxious.

That's me, an anti social person with who obviously hates my life. I do so hate living at the beach, it is so depressing to walk along the dunes and suffer through enjoying my family. As to online playing, I promise you that I have never even tried that. My extent was playing Ms PacMan in the 80s. I only reply to other posters. Check the posts. Only the nasty remarks receive a nasty reply. Try your self taught psychoanalysis on others or at least double check the replies please. Either way it's fine cause I reached my goal of 100 posts. Thanks everyone.

Jealousy is such a bad thing. Try and find joy in your life. I wonder why you are so obsessed with Dave. Anyway, I hope that you reconnect with Dave. Try People Finder or something. Unless maybe YOU are Dave??? Please try and refrain from using words like "tool" to be responsive. I have no need of you.... Your mother was a hamster and your father smelled of elderberries.

My mom knows Dave...and you are no Dave. He would never speak of her like that. You act like a hamster stuck on his wheel, 100 replies,101, 102, 103, 104, 105,....110. When are you going to get off?

Dave is not well. Dave lives thru multiple personalities. Imagine your so called goal at present time would be to have the most views on CP, that most trusted site of factual data. Maybe Dave plays the Bear in the movie Ted.

I am too busy with my grandkids walking the beaches and enjoying retirement to keep responding to the uneducated.

Pretty good movie reference. However, not a very good movie. I at least was able to reference Monty Python. You seem to be a parrot who can only say one word-Dave, Dave, Dave. Are you referring possibly to Dave Thomas, Dave Winfield, Dave Matthews, etc...... I hope you have a pleasant rest of your weekend.

Very good. Very good. I appreciate the well-thought out response. That's funny right there. If you can't laugh at that, you gotta get out. I will give you extra points for this one. Still not Dave, but laughing anyway.
