Three Canadian psychologists found that habitual Internet commenting is strongly correlated with hateful personality pathologies. The total amount of time spent posting comments online correlated positively with sadism, psychopathy and Machiavellianism. |
Would that more posters come to an understanding of why they say the things they say.

Good post BMac, I've also noticed that in some of my posts. And for a while I was thinking everyone was afraid to post on this one :)

Excellent, more posting space for the rest of us hate filled, psychotic losers.....

It's a good topic, but I suspect it won't draw those who need it most (except as snipers, of course ;O).

It isn't that this applies to a lot of people per particular site, either. After a while, it seems that a core group evolves, and then it's off to the downhill races. I don't know that I agree with the study's conclusions; the terms they use are awfully strong and are, I believe, very much an overstatement.
Over time, you can usually ID a few basic types who regularly demonstrate bullying, perceived intellectual authority, blind ideological reactionaries, etc. None of which, however, approach anywhere near sociopath status.
So thanks for helping out in the intervention process!
