They often pick targets that remind them of the parent that neglected them too. They are individuals who don't take rejection well so when they are blocked and not engaged they tend to look for ways to still get at the individual who is choosing to reject them. It's also not unusual for these kind of individuals to try to find others who will join in with their effort to pursue and challenge the individual they are trying to target. Their identity revolves around taking away the identity of others. This is an effort to make up for how their parent or someone in their own life failed to help them form their OWN identity and develop healthy "self" respect.
One of the bad things about this Cyber technology is that it has become an effective tool toxic individuals can use to hurt others. Even the creators of Facebook have admitted that the use of the likes and dislikes when it comes to whatever a person posts on Facebook is actually unhealthy for a persons mental health. Studies have shown this to be true. The truth is that just because something is new and popular doesn't mean it's something healthy and "safe". Actually, the individuals that create and put out all this technology make it a point to limit their own children from being exposed to it and instead choose to have their own children educated the old fashioned way without the help of this technology.
That being said, the computer technology we do have can also be a source that someone can find helpful and look for information that provides that person with ways to learn and gain personal knowledge. It's always important to remember that when it comes to engaging on any kind of social site that you can most definitely come across other individuals who use these sites in unhealthy ways.

Omg, the first paragraph you wrote completely described what happened to me! Thank you for putting into words what it was like. It's nice to feel like someone else understands how the situation develops and becomes so aggressive, and there is nothing you can do.
