Your point about no special psychology is interesting, and I tend to agree. I think that narcissism, sadistic manipulation, voyeurism, and so on, are probably universal. Still, some people seem drawn to expressing these repeatedly online, and presumably enjoy it.
I think they are the same nice people you meet offline, but they are not constrained by niceties. Some people think that the cure would be to insist on the same constraints online, but I would rather see people for who they really are, but that's probably just me. And as I said, how do you tell the difference between a troll and someone you find annoying?
