Taken From Another Forum:
An Internet "troll" is a person who delights in sowing discord on the Internet. He (and
it is usually he) tries to start arguments and upset people.
Trolls see Internet communications services as convenient venues for their bizarre game.
For some reason, they don't "get" that they are hurting real people. To them, other
Internet users are not quite human but are a kind of digital abstraction. As a result,
they feel no sorrow whatsoever for the pain they inflict. Indeed, the greater the
suffering they cause, the greater their 'achievement' (as they see it). At the moment,
the relative anonymity of the net allows trolls to flourish.
Trolls are utterly impervious to criticism (constructive or otherwise). You cannot
negotiate with them; you cannot cause them to feel shame or compassion; you cannot reason
with them. They cannot be made to feel remorse. For some reason, trolls do not feel they
are bound by the rules of courtesy or social responsibility.
are they tracking my movements or something????? |
