The Trolls Among Us (Interesting Read)

The New York Times > Log In

Interesting article talking about some of the more famous trolling incidents, and talking to a few of the culprits.

While I think stuff like this goes too far, I do agree with the how people give too much power to the words of random internet users. That's of course referring to random internet trolling. Obviously death threats, rape threats, and the like are far beyond that

Thanks for posting the article I enjoyed reading it.

I wonder what people would say if they knew the person could easily come and get them.

I think its upsetting when someone makes an awesome troll thread and all the noob replies are "7/10, donny"

why does donny get all this credit?
