Well, being in the mental health field, and not having thought about this before- the whole troll concept is an epiphamy! (geez, did I spell that right?) When the next DSM comes out I'm sure it will have all kinds of new psychiatric diagnosis that include our new computer world that we live in! I think these people are very much like anti-social personality disorders. They do not "feel" human emotions, and if asked, will say they "feel" like they are in a play, acting like a human and not really getting it. They don't understand what we mean by love, sadness, mourning, etc. they are only out to please themselves by hurting others. (Ted Bundy was an extreme case- most live among us and are not serial killers!) I know a person on another thread that fits this and the troll criteria! Thanks for the info! I actually felt better after reading it - there's no point in responding at all. Thank you, thank you!!!
