Excessive D-baggery?

There are 2 types of trolling imo
1, where you joke about stuff that isn't taken personal to either party
2, where you joke about stuff that directly affects another person's emotions.
for example, making fun of the holocaust in front of a Jew. Talking down on the lives that were lost in wars, making fun of the dead feels like a different story.
I shall call the new word: Troll Mage, fire spec.

online bullying
Surely 'bullying' is quite fitting, correct?

He deserves the arrest. There should be a line and there is one somewhere deep in our consciousness. How does the loved ones of the victims feel about this? Imagine if one of those victims was a family member, how would you feel. I thought so. :(
If there is someone out there who makes fun of my Grandma whom passed away a year and a half ago, I wouldn't let it slide on a personal level.

I think you found the word already- sociopath. It's the same kind of person who taunts a dying child because they didn't invite her daughter to a birthday party, who pickets a funeral to insult soldiers and their grieving family because they want publicity, or who abuses disabled people in their care for their own amusement. It's someone who has no empathy for the feelings of others, no sense of other people having any value other than as something to be used and manipulated for gain or amusement, and no ability to feel guilt. Not every sociopath becomes a serial killer. Many just remain callous, socially manipulative, parasites who feed off of those around them- either in a physical sense (con artists, scammers, leeches) or an emotional sense (people who are needlesly nasty, or abusive, to anyone who they thing they can lash out at without facing any repercussions- usually because it gives them a feeling of empowerment nd importance over these other people).
I'm not talking about general trolling, mind you. I don't care if you walk away from your X-box 360, what would happen if Zelda was a girl, why it's caled Invincible if you can see it, if you own a horse, or if you need advice about why you haven't gotten your period yet as a 12 year old boy. Whatever you think is amusing to kill time with, have at it. But the person in this article, and the people like him, are using trolling as a weapon to inflict pain.

If one of the victems was a relative?
I would reply "lol, good one nub. *Hammers in "don't feed the troll" sign*"
This reaction is exactly what he wanted when he first trolled. He won.

Well, it isn't right at all.. But things are bigger in magnitude when there's a attachment to it. (^_^')

I'd hardly say a criminal record is a prize, per sé. Well, outside of the scummy gang cultures, but still. Even then it isn't really, because you're tainted for years with it, perhaps the rest of your life.

Still surprised how we have this hooker living freely and promoting her own...

That was my thought as well. However, if the person in question truly only takes such anti-social actions through the medium of the Internet, and would not make such comments in real life, I suppose you could refer to them as an "e-sociopath".

I really,
really
doubt that his intention was to get arrested and spend 4 months in jail - and if it was, then it really just is further indication that he has extensive mental issues.

In some cases, I think it's perfectly warranted.

You Are 48% Sociopath
You're not a sociopath, but you're very prone to antisocial behavior.
Other people's opinions matter little to you. You live your own fringe life - for better or worse.

I still don't see why it should bother anyone.
