Driving off someone from being online, as a troll, because it gives you a thrill.

This is an awfully specific flex, but it is a flex nonetheless, that people do feel to boast about. Because it’s just another form of a power-trip. Congratulations, you’ve driven away someone who could’ve been a contributory member of a community to make yourself feel better by orchestrating lies, performing witch hunts and huddling with your troll buddies in ways to figure out how to process this.

There’s nothing prideful about this to flex over.

    I often play devils advocate and I get your feeling but then there is also peoples drive to understand themselves. Who they are and how they function. this technically does that. I mean the trans and neurodivergent folk do it all the time along with furries.

        what makes it not real. that people have personality tendencies? I mean I don’t really know what that thing is I sorta assumed it was like disc or being a type A or whatnot.

            well context in conversations suggests things. Like this suggests a personality testing type. So yeah assumptions were made.
