I took it upon myself to inform the people replying that the daughter never existed and its just a scam to get money. Boy did I feel justified.

About 2 years later I discovered that you have an "other" mailbox on facebook that mail from people who aren't friends with you goes to. It was full of messages from her friends and family saying the mother was distraught at my comments and that they have spent hours trying to stop her crying. They were threatening to sue me if I didn't make a public retraction of my claims and a full public apology. These messages were accompanied by news links about the death of their daughter. Ooops! Still, it was 2 years ago now and I still haven't been sued so I guess I win.

Trolls. Good question and not sure I know the answer.
So a few factors to disagree with:

Validation. Is it a failure to self validate in the conventional sense and being a cunt is easier to prove?

Needs. Does someone who does it constantly have an underlying need to do it? I would have thought so.

Are they cunts in real life? Dunno. Has anybody met one to find out?

Have I a fucken clue what I'm banging on about? Ovs not.
