Theyre turning the web into a cesspool of aggression and violence. What watching them is doing to the rest of us may be even worse.

But trolling has become the main tool of the alt-right, an Internet-grown reactionary movement that works for mens rights and against immigration and may have used the computer from Weird Science to fabricate Donald Trump. Not only does Trump share their attitudes, but hes got mad trolling skills: he doxxed Republican primary opponent Senator Lindsey Graham by giving out his cell-phone number on TV and indirectly got his Twitter followers to attack GOP political strategist Cheri Jacobus so severely that her lawyers sent him a cease-and-desist order.The Left is upset that a whole bunch of right-wingers are able to mock them, and their anonymity protects them from physical-world retaliation by Leftists.... Trolling is the alt-rights version of political activism, and its ranks view any attempt to take it away as a denial of democracy.
Actual free speech terrifies Marxist losers.
Time is a Troll Warren.
Heck, I mock libtards all the time. I don’t consider this anonymity. If they want to come around here it would MAKE MY DAY.
Not to worry.....teamobama will make sure we don’t have the net to spread our hate soon. He is giving it to China and UN.
The internet is not one thing. If you choose to view trash (or what you consider trash but others don’t), that’s your problem.
The trolling is working! Must increase.
Ping. Leftists upset that right-wingers are able to get their message out, and are able to mock Leftists, with relative impunity.
I’ve been punished for being a troll on other sites, when I was simply disagreeing. It caused me to coin this phrase: “Troll” is the new “racist”.
It’s a bogus slam. The word’s meaning is way too broad as to actually have any meaning.
“But trolling has become the main tool of the alt-right”
And the entire mainstream media is the main tool of the left.
Compare Free Republic to the vile filth on Democratic Underground, and you realize just who is ruining the internet.
The thing is, as a group, liberals are more immature. It’s harder for them to not feed the trolls. It also makes it kinda fun to “troll” them, by merely disagreeing with them in ways you KNOW they hate.
Time Magazine?
Is that a magazine about watches?
Oh that will still continue to go on, even if any changes were to take place.
Left wing media, which encompasses most of the media outlets, are nothing but liars and trolls themselves who are quick to call conservatives racists, troglodytes, as well as, many other nasty adjectives. So I guess you trolls started this whole nasty business haven’t you. Be a man and own up to it Joel Stein.
Internet “violence”...#ROFL#
These “snowflakes” are afraid someone is gonna punch them thru the screen??????
I thought this title was odd. Trolling has always been with the Internet. Now this makes sense.
What a narrow historical scope they rely on - they must have missed the GWB administration and the Obama campaign.
Interestingly, Obama’s supporters, except for the extreme sociopaths who will be around until doomsday, have all but disappeared from the whole of the internet.
But look at any site with so-called trolls and you will notice the stark contrast: conservatives who invariably spell every word correctly, use proper sentences, capitalization, grammar and punctuation, and can express a thought in writing versus lefties who rely on txtspk, LOLs, pejoratives (Teathuglicans etc.), and always, always second-hand phrases straight from Dem operatives (’common sense,’ ‘gun violence,’ etc.).
That article doesn’t have a comment section.
Darn.
