I used to think most people who participated in Wanks over on Fandom_Wank were good comedians, even when they did a wank about me. I enjoyed the wank and laughed at myself. Now I'm not so sure anymore. Not only do they intend to insult, belittle, and be offensive as you point out, they are very insecure in their own lifes. If a person they have perviously wanked just stops into their journal and says "Just wanted to say Hi" they go absolutely badshit.

When I did this, the guy accused me of sending him a email claiming I was going to steal his identity. Of course I didn't know what he was talking about, but I did discover that Wankers were some pretty crazy and freaky people who should be avoided at all cost.

They can make fun of you for weeks or even months, but they can't take even a small one time joke about themselves.

Wanker really is a good term to describe who they are. I don't think they know why this term fits so well, but it does.
