Driving off someone from being online, as a troll, because it gives you a thrill.

This is an awfully specific flex, but it is a flex nonetheless, that people do feel to boast about. Because it's just another form of a power-trip. Congratulations, you've driven away someone who could've been a contributory member of a community to make yourself feel better by orchestrating lies, performing witch hunts and huddling with your troll buddies in ways to figure out how to process this.

There's nothing prideful about this to flex over.

He practised every presentation until he could give it without interruption.

That's right-ish. He was a firearms instructor, both in the Marine Corps and as a civilian. He was also an expert witness in dozens, if not hundreds, of criminal trials, where he would explain ballistics to jurors. That was his practice. His videos were all one take because that was the hundredth time he'd presented that information, or information very similar, in an educational format.
