Trolls.
 

An article in this coming Sunday's NYT on internet trolling.
A decent read & a little background (if you can call it that)

Wow.
Anyone else want to disconnect their internet right now and never go back on?

Sometimes, especially when I read articles like that, or see it online first hand.

yeah thats just ****ed up....sad thats what people do for some amusement.

no patience to read 7 pages of /b/

my ADD kicked in halfway down page 1

i was a page 1 quiter as well

didnt make all that much sesne...

but all these hackers and trolls and **** are scary... but you'd never think os in real life.

like seriously its online, who associates this with real life, like being able to track addresses names phone numbers etc... oh wait....

...whats my user title...again...thats right.... u guys are lucky to be on my good side, haha

Did anyone read all 7 pages? And if so could they give like a short summary? hahah i tried and found it interesting just too messed up to continue with

people are retarded, that is the answer to all questions based on "Why", pertaining to ones actions.

It explains the history of trolling, some of the most famous troll, and tries to explain why the toll do what they do.

Thank you. :gay:
