HAPPYSPACERS
There's a particular type of troll or cyberpest online that I classify as "happyspacers".
Their problem seems to be that they see any forum BBS Facebook Page or similar public area online as their own PRIVATE club where they can be happy. They apparently think their presence in any open area of public cyberspace makes its a private area their own HAPPYSPACE.
Woe betide you if you do any of the following
Be serious
Type some question you thought was well composed and serious that indicates you have a reading age and educational leval higher than theirs.
Not make every other post unvarying adulation and praise of any professional also using that area of cyberspace.
Disagree however politely with another person.
Never mind you dont telllies spread gossip or use obscene words.
The very act of dissent or critique is "rude" in their eyes.
Oh another sign of an happyspacer is if you apologize and say you were having a bad day or share a tidbit of personal info about why you were stressed or cranky they completely disregard the fact that other people have problems and use that as ammo against you.
The only person they care about is their idol and themselves.
They also carry on about you being a negative person and ignore anything positive you ever posted on your own sites or FB. Or worse claim to be an expert WITH NO PROOF and proceed to badmouth any creative work you have posted on line anywhere.
Don't try posting any requests for help or advice to other people that frequent the area cos once Happyspacer takes offence they'll disrupt any public conversation or use it against you.
They also never use their own names and use some tag that makes them dificult to trace or block.
They apparently think the ideal friend is someone who ALWAYS agrees with them or praises them. They can't tolerate ANY dissent or discuss it.
They hate questions.
Happyspacers.

It's never you, is it?

Taunt them, ridicule them, humiliate them, pull them off their piedestals, burst their precious bubbles and shatter their grandiose but fragile self-delusions into a million tiny fragments! Optimise your abuse of them by taking into account their past reactions. Identify what angers them most and blatantly rub it into their faces repeatedly, relentlessly and mercilessly. Whenever they say "I'm not <x>", "I've never done <y>", or the like, take note of <x> and <y> (eg. in a paper notebook or computer file) *especially* if they say it more than once, because it's very likely to be what they *specifically* don't want to be, and/or don't want to be *seen* as, often because it is both a) what they really *are* and b) a source of shame, embarrassment, or guilt for them. Often when they deny something (especially if repeatedly or passionately), they are trying to convince *themselves* just as much - or more - than they are talking to anyone else. They may have no *conscious* awareness of the truth in what they deny, but their *unconscious* does know; the very fact that it is unconscious rather than conscious means there's something fishy about it; for example, it may be incompatible with one's self-image or sense of identity, or it may be morally or socially unacceptable, and thus a source of guilt or shame, c) they are incompatible and conflicting with conscious counterparts and must be repressed to avoid indecision or doubt and facilitate efficiency; you might find yourself switching between these incompatible alternatives.
Many of them are pathologically narcissistic, and are looking for ego-stroking in its various forms (narcissistic supply = NS) - they *require* this to support their delusions of grandeur upon which their whole self-worth hinges. We all enjoy NS to an extent, but the pathological narcissist *NEEDS* it as *proof* that he is worthy - his self-esteem hinges upon it.
There's a lot more to say, but ... I guess I'm just lacking the motivation to finish. Anyway, it should give you some idea about the people your dealing with.
