The Internet has allowed people like this, that are really only a fraction of the population (10%, give or take), to find "friends" and other like-minded people that just fuel their sickness. Unfortunately, the rest of us that are somewhat normal respond emotionally because we are appalled and it only pushes them to fuel the fire more.

I had figured the reason was financial, like he runs a glp . com type site and ran topics up the flag pole here to test their veracity for posting there, cha-ching. I've always assumed theres a big motivator other than just troll for fun like most of us do. But an even bigger motivator is the reason you cited, a deep seated emotional reason.
His recent thread about his GFy search sorting threads by total views certainly backs all this up.
