Malwebolence - The World of Web Trolling - NYTimes.com
Trolls are scary creatures in fiction and in cyberspace. Some just want to get a reaction and hurt your feelings, but others want much more than that! Ultimately, this is need satisfying behavior to them. It meets their needs for power of course, but also, fun, freedom and even belonging. Since it is so completely need satisfying, we will be hard pressed to help these folks find others ways to meet those psychological needs in a manner that is more acceptable to the norms of society. Clearly, trolling behavior is a strong picture in their Quality Worlds.
