Perhaps he has a superiority complex. He could very well feel inferior in real life, but once he gets into his domain, such as vandalizing pages, that's when the feeling of heightened superiority kicks in, at which point he's nearly unstoppable; the only thing preventing him from continually experiencing the constant high that this state endows is us, the regular editors and admins who safeguard the wiki from these types of attacks. In return, he starts targeting the users to discourage them from continuing to undo the edits so in theory he could continue unhindered. Alas and for the best, it thankfully doesn't work in this fashion.
