you might suspect "internet addiction" but for some of these cases it is malignant narcissism
internet sites are the only place they can find an audience for their bullshyt
they bring attention to themselves, drop their real life identity,
deliberately behave erratically
try to shyt on other people while leaving themselves wide open for counterattack
make a spectacle so they can be the center of attention-
the desird result is people arguing with them and about them
attackers and defenders- it doesn't matter
they just want the attention
they're like kudzu-
once they get traction, you can't get rid of them
