This interested me:

“This year, a group of Canadian university researchers published an in-depth look into the psychology of Internet trolling. They found that trolls have a set of personality traits referred to as the “dark tetrad,” composed of Machiavellianism (desire to manipulate and deceive others), narcissism (vanity), psychopathy (lack of remorse and empathy), and sadism (pleasure in the suffering of others). Basically, the trolls are as crazy as you thought.”

Having run into a few people like this, and not just on the internet, I had to look it up.
