This seems quite apropos: Survey: Online trolls are 'everyday sadists'
Quote:

An online survey by a group of Canadian researchers suggests that Internet trolls are more likely than others to show signs of sadism, psychopathy and "Machiavellianism": a disregard for morality and tendency to manipulate or exploit others.

"It was sadism, however, that had the most robust associations with trolling of any of the personality measures," says an article by psychologists from the University of Manitoba, University of Winnipeg and University of British Columbia. "In fact, the associations between sadism and ... scores were so strong that it might be said that online trolls are prototypical everyday sadists."

Sadism is a tendency to take pleasure in other people's pain or discomfort.

The article was published last week in the journal Personality and Individual Differences.

"Canadian researchers"?!

Man, this whole deal is just getting less and less credible. Everyone knows that Canadians don't do science unrelated to Kraft Dinner.

Clearly because I'm a sadist, who wasn't given enough mac and cheese as a child. It's made me a bitter, wizened shell of a human being.

Canadian research is biased because we are simply too nice to be harshly critical. If a Canadian says something is mildly disturbing, you'd better put up the storm shutters because that's our polite way of saying World War 3.
