I was perusing around the Internet and ran across this definition, it sounded … so right somehow. Where have I run into this kind of person…. Think Odd Emperor think!

Domination Trolls;
Recently, it has become apparent that there are probably trolls also operating as list managers. I am unclear as to the specific motivations for this type of activity, but it may be:
* gratification from dominating the emotional lives of list members
* gangland ware – where one group sets up a list and aims to defend
it from other trolling groups
* a genuine area of interest on behalf of the troll
Nevertheless, the lesson behind this is that you need to get verification data for list managers as well as other list members.

Anyway; the entire piece is pretty interesting. I’ve run into all kinds of people on the Internet. Some have been quite charming and some have more than resembled the types detailed in this article.
As I said; fascinating.
