Trolls are portrayed as aberrational and antithetical to how normal people converse with each other. And that could not be further from the truth

“Arguing with anonymous strangers on the Internet is a sucker's game because they almost always turn out to be—or to be indistinguishable from—self-righteous sixteen-year-olds possessing infinite amounts of free time.”

Troll la la la la
In class, we went over different types of trolling. Trolling is Internet user behavior, that is meant to intentionally anger or frustrate someone else.  Trolling has become a huge part of our society unfortunately but it is something we need to learn how to deal with.  Unfortunately trolling is a part of freedom of speech.  Trolling is also most commonly associated with online discussions where users are subjected to offensive posts and messages in order to provoke a response.  The following posts and links will show you the problems with trolling and a solution! “A Pew Research Center survey published two years ago found that 70% of 18-to-24-year-olds who use the Internet had experienced harassment, and 26% of women that age said they'd been stalked online.”
