What do you think people gain out of verbally attacking and insulting random strangers online?

It's just a way to compensate for their low IQs. Swear words and name calling is done when their comprehending and writing skills fail.

Keyboard Warriors!!!

Not a thing. I think they are just taking out their insecurities and frustrations out on other people, that they are experiencing at home. Makes them feel they are in control of it least a little part of their life rather than nothing. In reality, it just shows their immature character.

A false sense of achievement, entertainment, distraction from their real problems, a sense of control.. etc

I have no idea. It's kinda sad.

Entertainment

A warped sense of power

Hard on!

maybe they are spreading the pain they feel deep down inside. they want someone else to also feel bad.

I'm not sure what's to gain, but who's gonna to stop them?

Nothing really! That is why I don't do it.

Its a creative outlet.

I've no idea

Like with losers that try to create drama in real life among neighbours etc, they are people with no lives, uneducated substance abusers that know they have nothing in life so crave the few minute rush of adrenaline in attacking someone.
