"I just read a very interesting article (it's in czech, so there's no point in linking it. I checked if google translate could translate it, but that was pure chaos) about internet trolls. Most of them have a condition called "impulsive-compulsive interpersonal dysfunction".
Impulsive - gets an idea and must execute it immediately without thinking of the consequences. Compulsive - must do it because if not they think something bad will happen. Interpersonal - functioning/interactions between people. Dysfunction - doesn't work.
Basically, they have an intense inner need they cannot control to behave badly towards other people, to varying degrees. It can be anything from white lies to serious harassment, so there are many severity degrees here, but essentially, it's a disorder, and not just being an asshole. Many of them get release through more harmless "trolling" than for instance the things 4chan are up to. Treatment often involves finding healthier outlets, in addition to cognitive therapy to stop the impulses and handle the compulsive bit.
Fact of the day, I guess."
