Well it’s better than letting them act out their negative empathy and parastitic need for attention in the real world, I guess.

behaving in a deceptive, destructive, or disruptive manner in a social setting on the Internet

The MSM meme will be that this describes right-to-lifers, heterosexuals, Tea Partiers, global warming sceptics, evangelicals, observant Catholics, whites and men.

We will all be trolls.

Think of the possibilities here. Trolling is supposedly a sign of a severe mental problem. If they could actually establish that then all that remains is to redefine trolling as disputing whatever PC dogma is being discussed and voila! You have an entirely new weapon against dissident speech.

I personally know two men who found their current wives on the internet. Both of the women were married to other men at the time. I’ve met the two women and I’m not sure it’s the man or the woman who got the short end of the stick. I know both men henpecked and do what they’re told. What these men who think they’re so smart aren’t really smart enough to see is, the women let them THINK they’re in charge.

I’m sure there are those who find their true loves on the internet. I just don’t understand why they can’t meet people like it used to be done. The internet should be used to get sex and leave it at that. Don’t get married! It was just sex!

Trolling or not, most people pay for their internet access. If they want to troll, I say let ‘em troll as long as they’re paying their bill.

Actually, trolling is what most of the press does every day.

When they put up a headline that grabs your attention but either leaves relevant facts out or only provide a critical reversing fact at the end of the story, it’s doing the same thing.

All part of the campaign to end anonymous posting of comments on the Internet. Its a campaign that’s working quite well from what I’ve observed.

Of course, the result is that only those who agree with the viewpoint of a particular newspaper or website, (HuffPost for example), surrender their autonomy and submit comments. The result of course is to silence any opposing views and to insure that anyone who does post opposing views is easily identified and made traceable.

Its part of the end game for the Progressives to take over the internet and silence any opposing views.

There's a local sportsman's website that has a political forum and a libtard that is accusing me of being a "paid" troll.........LOL!

I wish I could find out how to get paid, I might give up my retirement.

I hoped the study talked about disinhibition

Normal people will really push their boundaries if they feel anonymous and they aren’t communicating with others face-to-face. Basically, people lose their inhibition.

I don’t really think most trolls are psychopaths - you do it because you can and get away with it.
