... was also correlated with Machiavellianism and psychopathy. In fact, further statistical analysis revealed that most of the Dark Tetrad correlations with internet trolling were because of overlap with sadism."
Great article! Still, how come this doesn't surprise me one iota?
I've always suspected that trolls are the kind of individuals who, if you meet them when they're out and about, and not hiding in their room-bunker-cell, facing that gleaming rectangle of light that makes them feel invincible, are probably the world's #1 cowards.
More than likely if you go at a troll to give him a good ass-kicking, he'd probably cower in a corner, swearing up and down it wasn't him who did the trolling. If not believed, a troll would probably promise not to do it again, never ever.
Once having received a very well-deserved ass-kicking anyway, he would walk away, and when far, far enough, would take off running, yelling, "I will REPORT you!" or, even better, when reeeeally far away, "I will KILL you!" lol
Trolls are cowards par excellence, and were probably always cowards. Cowardly is their middle name - individuals with inadequate self-esteem, who cover that up by displaying a narcissistic personality, but only when locked securely in their miserable little room, and facing that magical cybernetic beam of light.
