Has the narcissistic troll posed that great a threat here?

As a prominent researcher (see my previous post in this thread) on Internet troll personalities, I know nothing of this taxonomy. All trolls are somewhat narcissistic in their craving for attention and cunning use of diversions to generate heat (excitement for them). However, distinguishing trolls as narcissistic, obsessive-compulsive, or deluded is usually no different than distinguishing them as young, hairy, or brilliant. It is a distinction in that these are personal attributes, but they aren't broad categories against which trolls cleave.

I would say your troll is narcissistic in addition to being a troll if he or she shows clears signs of the narcissistic psychopathology: habitual lying, condescending attitude, manipulation, need for praise/attention, and a sense of being entitled to things without requisite effort. These items must go beyond, for example, the inflammatory posts and concealment of identity and intentions of the garden (or maybe I should say lawn :lol:) Internet troll.

Just call me, Im the Troll-Slayer. Report any incidences of trolling to me and then leave it to the professional because trolls shouldnt be virtually approached as they can be dangerous to peoples emotional health.

Isn't this a snail killer?
Oh, wait, that's sodium chloride.
I'll add a little to the chili sauce and see what happens.

Sodium spontaneously ignites when in the presence of water. :twisted: NaCl is otherwise known as salt... and if I had meant salt, I would have probably said salt. ;)

What about an air bubble injected into the veins??? Thereby creating Ischema and causing brain damage which just might in turn eliminate any narcissistic personality traits-- or ANY traits for that matter.

Say! We could perform Lesion Studies on brain-damaged trolls, via methods of Ischema then stroke or even anneurism! (I'm mean, more brain-damaged than they started out in the first place.) And with all this lovely researched information, we could learn how to keep humans from turning into trolls!

Muahahahahaha... *gets out needle*

The mermaids are still on sale, if you're interested.

I think I'm missing something here. This whole topic was started because there was a "narcissistic troll" Neuroman was worrying about, right?

NM is not worried about the narcissitic troll. They cannot help but reveal themselves, and once revealed, the appropriate weapon will defeat them (if they don't self destruct first).

NM is doing research in case the occasional N.T. fails to self-destruct on schedule.

There is no particular troll.
The particular troll is hypothetical
So are the mermaids (they have been drying out too long)
There is a singular troll
There are many of this type of troll
This one may be one of the not so elusive Narcissistic Trolls.
The chili sauce is not hypothetical. I intend to add essence of napalm to make it hotter.

Any questions?

It's probably best I opt out of this thread because it isn't what it seemed. It's actually in the classification of slapstick humor that I don't find enjoyable.

Slapping the troll with a stick is not allowed.

No violence, please.

What about poking? Does that count?

I have the sudden urge to trick the troll into swallowing a waterbottle full of solid sodium and a little bit of water... then running away as fast as I can! :twisted:
