“As humanity becomes more dependent on Information and Communications Technology, we slowly isolate and disconnect from human contact on a real human and spiritual level.” Michael Nuccitelli, Psy.D. (2011)
“Although I view the World Wide Web, Telecommunications, Digital Technology and Mobile Device Technology as highly beneficial tools and areas helpful to society, I do recognize tools have many different purposes. When chosen for nefarious reasons, Information and Communications Technology are tools that become lethal weapons.” Michael Nuccitelli, Psy.D. (2011)
Do you truly understand how dangerous Trolls are for people online? Are you protecting yourself? Do you know what to do if a brother or sister-in-arms asks for your help with this problem? What about your Family Members and other loved ones? How do you keep them safe from Trolls harming them? What are your personal experiences with this kind of iPredator?
If you are suffering now do you need help from others to get it to stop? Please share your strategies of how you have successfully shut down an iPredator.
Thank you, and Trolls please stay away, since this Discussion Post is to help others not to harm others. If you are still recovering from the harm caused by a Troll, you can get better. Please choose life and reach out to someone for help.
"Troll, a one word term defining a highly dysfunctional online user who targets others using cyber harassment, internet defamation, online deception, cyberstalking, disinformation, extortion, duplicity and cyberbullying after targets. The Internet Troll and their Troll clones inhabit cyberspace.

The Dark Triad of Personality "Trolls just want to have fun" Erin E. Buckelsa, Paul D. Trapnellb,
Delroy L. Paulhusc.
Abstract
In two online studies (total N = 1215), respondents completed personality inventories and a survey of their Internet commenting styles. Overall, strong positive associations emerged among online commenting frequency, trolling enjoyment, and troll identity, pointing to a common construct underlying the measures. Both studies revealed similar patterns of relations between trolling and the Dark Tetrad of personality: trolling correlated positively with sadism, psychopathy, and Machiavellianism, using both enjoyment ratings and identity scores. Of all personality measures, sadism showed the most robust associations with trolling and, importantly, the relationship was specific to trolling behavior. Enjoyment of other online activities, such as chatting and debating, was unrelated to sadism. Thus cyber-trolling appears to be an Internet manifestation of everyday sadism.
Erin Buckels of the University of Manitoba and two colleagues, sought to directly investigate whether people who engage in trolling are characterized by personality traits that fall in the so-called Dark Tetrad: Machiavellianism (willingness to manipulate and deceive others), Narcissism (egotism and self-obsession), Psychopathy (the lack of remorse and empathy), and Sadism (pleasure in the suffering of others).

"Dark Psychology: Dark Psychology is the study of the human condition as it relates to the psychological nature of people to prey upon other people motivated by criminal and/or deviant drives that lack purpose and general assumptions of instinctual drives and social sciences theory. All of humanity has the potentiality to victimize humans and other living creatures. While many restrain or sublimate this tendency, some act upon these impulses.
Dark Psychology seeks to understand those thoughts, feelings, perceptions and subjective processing systems that lead to predatory behavior that is antithetical to contemporary understandings of human behavior. Dark Psychology assumes that criminal, deviant and abusive behaviors are purposive and have some rational, goal-oriented motivation 99% of the time. It is the remaining 1%, Dark Psychology parts from Adlerian theory and the Teleological Approach.
Dark Psychology encompasses all that makes us who we are in relationship to our dark side. All cultures, faiths and humanity have this proverbial cancer. From the moment we are born to the time of death, there is a side hidden within us that some have called “Evil” and others have defined as criminal, deviant or psychopathic.
Dark Psychology posits there are people who commit these same acts and do so not for power, money, sex, retribution or any other known purpose. They commit horrid acts without a goal. Simplified, their ends do not justify their means. There are people who violate and injure others for the sake of doing so. Within in all of us is this potential. A potential to harm others without cause, explanation, or purpose is the area explored. Dark Psychology assumes this dark potential is incredibly complex and even more difficult to define.

I am always looking for resources, since this is a serious problem with our Soldiers that suffer from these attacks. I am going to start implementing training on this in my BDE.

Dr. Nuccitelli,
Do you have any materials that would be helpful for training Military Personnel? There is a huge problem in the Military, and we have no training available for this. I have been piecing things together to make training available soon. Thank You. GI Jane
