Internet Troll Personality Disorder!

The News Is:
Some Internet Trolls May Have A Psychiatric Disorder!

Following a link searched by a visitor from Everyone's Internet (nps.k12.nj.us (IP 151.198.194.85)), (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=Internet), I was absolutely amazed that there is serious discussion about the Internet Troll Personality Disorder! Following the link above will bring you to some interesting postings on the problem of the Internet troll, generally. But searching Internet Troll Personality Disorder will call up hits like Medical Forums (http://www.medical.gr77.com/viewtopic.php?t=14772) that actually discuss the problem in psychiatric terms (http://www.behavenet.com/capsules/disorders/dsm4TRclassification.htm). According to this explanation, the Internet troll is suffering a real psychiatrict disorder.

This sheds new light on Mr Benham's and Mr Horne's very bizarre defamation campaigns and their uncanny success in convincing the Times Union (a newspaper of the Hearst Corporation) "hill-town" reporter, Mr Scott Waldman, to buy into their scam. Mr Waldman fell for the tricksters' lines but fortunately other publishers did not. Why was that, one wonders? While calling the duped Mr Waldman's scandalous and misinformed article "brilliant" because he bought into their crapola, they had particularly unkind words for more ethical journalists who tole them to take a hike with their proposal for libel (see Benham's and Horne's published rants at their blog sites).

It is remarkable that there is so much attention being given to the Internet troll phenomenon on the Internet and so many people have been harmed by Internet troll malconduct that it is now being considered a psychopathic or a sociopathic disorder.

Now that raises the question of whether the persons who collaborate with the Internet troll are also subject to psychopathic or sociopathic classification. An interesting question because many persons with psychopathic and sociopathic disorders do attract a certain following characterized by psychological, social, emotional needs that are satisfied by the intimate association with the person with the primary disorder. That may explain Mr Scott Horne's infatuation with Mr Richard Benham and Mr Scott Waldman's sucesptibility to being duped by Benham and Horne and even Benham's and Horne's outrage and backlash resulting from the rejection they received from other publisher's. These revelations certainly give one pause to consider what is really going on in Benham's and Horne's, even Joan Ross' and Scott Waldman's heads.

Well, the notion of the Internet Troll Personality Disorder certainly might explain a great many things that have come to light since last August.
