The post quoting me contains a misquote. Here's the correct attribution:
Online trolls have a certain set of personality traits and behavior patterns that can be identified. While not every troll fits into the same mold, there are some recognizable characteristics of online trolls that may help us to better understand the psychology behind their actions.
One of the most common characteristics of online trolls is an urge to seek attention or validation from others in an often negative or provocative way. They will usually post comments or messages on social media platforms with the intention of provoking a reaction from other users. This type of trolling behavior often takes the form of insults, threats, or generally inflammatory content which can quickly lead to arguments and heated debates within comment sections.
Another characteristic commonly seen amongst online trolls is a lack of empathy for those they interact with. Trolls tend to view other people as objects rather than individuals and consequently fail to consider how their words might affect another person’s feelings. In addition, many trolls take pleasure in causing distress to other users without feeling any remorse over their own conduct. These tendencies make it difficult for them to accept responsibility for their words and discourage them from engaging in meaningful dialogue with those they target.
The combination of these two types of behaviors creates a hostile environment where constructive conversations become increasingly difficult and can even cause long-term damage if left unchecked... https://www.truzzer.com/the-psychology- ... -comments/
MG, I know you're still upset about "things", but your constant repetition of all the details is getting a bit like "and it came to pass."
Yes, I know I can just skip past your comments, and probably should do so.
I guess you can add me to your list of "nannies".
His 'upsetness' is part of the troll act. It has long been my opinion that he is here to attempt to disrupt and provoke. It's a sick hobby to have, but then, the psychological makeup of an internet troll is pretty sick as well.

Nailed it. That describes MG 2.0's behaviour. He's always behaved that way.
Premise 1. Eyewitness testimony is notoriously unreliable.
Premise 2. The best evidence for the Book of Mormon is eyewitness testimony.
Conclusion. Therefore, the best evidence for the Book of Mormon is notoriously unreliable.

I'm not upset folks. I do think you are upset that I upset your 'critic narrative '. In order to do that I do feel as though it is sometimes/often necessary to get in the 'thick of it'. Of course when I rock the boat there are going be some people that are going to go on the offensive and use whatever tactics at their disposal. Including this whole troll shenanigans.

We know. It's just an act. Got it. TTOC!

I'm starting to wonder what your age category is. I've mentioned a couple of times that it almost seems as though I'm talking with an adolescent. And a precocious one at that!
You don't answer any questions. You act as though you 'rule the roost'. Any little thing seems to set you off. You don't really listen.
Adolescent.
You're a waste of time at this point. I'd suggest that you find something better to do than to take me down. But you'll keep coming back. Impulse control is seemingly not your strong suit. A large portion of my posts, unfortunately, are responding to your pointless efforts to put yourself on a pedestal of respectibility.

It's not working.

That spacing problem again, you just can't behave properly for more than 5 minutes can you...
