The topic of trolls, people who take time to leave inane, usually abusive comments, that kill conversation on blogs, and forums, and other types of social media is interesting.
Although I haven’t snagged any trolls yet, (I’ve got an upcoming post that I’m sure will reap a harvest) I did get some excellent comments:
Calling a troll a ‘redneck’ would be entirely too gracious
While one can make the argument that trolls and rednecks might not “know no better” when it comes to minding their manners, I have a troll who deliberately visits to make pointed comments that show he’s stalking my blog and collecting data on me before launching a nasty comment-missile. Trolls are, to me, the Debbie Downers and Grim Reapers of the social media space.
Sometimes those at enmity with us can be spun to the good.
I think they should be called childish rednecks.
Critism is fine, trolling is not.
But then again, some bloggers write “troll” blogs as well due to their own bias.
