Why do people do this ?

McCanns Twitter troll Brenda Leyland found dead in hotel room | Daily Mail Online

Some years ago we even had this on our very FG when my arresting officer came here as a troll posing In 4 different user names. She'd write a post, log out, and then log In under another user name backing up her own post. She also posed as a serving police officer which she was not. That all stopped when police visited her under harassment laws.

But seriously.. what makes what looks like a relatively sane person on the outside resort to this.?

People are strange oscar, you can't know what someone is really thinking, what a person is really like inside. Sometimes they don't even know how strange they are.

To come on a public forum posing as a serving police officer and even e mailing members claiming they were a police officer !!! Posting In different user names !!!

OK, I admit, one night Nick Griffin and I ganged up on Stan Collymore, a footballer, on Twitter .. but after 3 or so posts, I left It alone.

To troll people who have lost their daughter though? I can't Imagine the torture they have been through only to have some nut job troll them like that. One can only assume they are unhinged.

One reason I just don't do alcohol. Never have and never will. Can't see the attraction other than a tipple at Christmas.
