This is not the most horrible people, but they had better find another place to socialize. It is not surprising that they are constantly the targets of ridicule.

Here it would be appropriate to compare with the "bespectacled nerd," from the school, but, unlike him, they can always "leave school", ie withdraw from the forum where malopochetnuyu to perform the role of scapegoat. But they never do.

The humiliation of self-esteem and / or syndrome attract attention

The man felt the need for self-abasement, feels a constant desire to be punished and humiliated. Well, sort of an albino monk in "The Da Vinci Code," which bitterly castigated themselves, only they give pleasure not physical, but mental anguish (for example, reading swearing in his address). One of two things: either it is a subconscious desire to atone for the sins, or very, very low self-esteem, which does not allow them to defend themselves against attacks.

But most likely, it's just good old syndrome attract attention, well known to anyone who ever is at least one evening to sit with a child. A virtual outcast as a child, knows that the opposite of love is not hate, but indifference. Therefore, any value, even the most negative aspects of attention.

Why is this happening on the Internet?

If the insult is fixed at the forum and is public - the better. It is not just the attention and the attention of millions of users worldwide network. If the administrator has set up a special theme of "We hate Jimmy" - Jimmy's in seventh heaven! "If I devoted an entire topic in a few dozen pages, and written about me and read hundreds and even thousands of people, so I biggie! "- Jimmy thinks.

№1 - Virtual Asperger Syndrome (aka "trollizm")

This term coined blogger Jason Calacanis to describe the complete disregard all social conventions and the denial of any human qualities, including compassion. Surprisingly, this phenomenon befall just because a person feels protected screen monitor, so with impunity insult others.

Troll brings teen to commit suicide, and egged him while he tightens the noose around his neck, teenagers fired from a giant slingshot baby and take it off the camera, to put on YouTube (if they have not already, be sure it is only a matter of time).

Normal teenagers, learn well, do not conflict with their parents, "they took place, did not participate, did not involve" ... but in chat rooms and forums, they are transformed into Charles Manson.

Most people shudder to hear this term, because they know that teens who claim to suffer from Asperger syndrome though, is really just self-centered and violent morons.
