When was the first time you encountered, or discovered an internet troll?
I’m not talking about the discovery that some disagree with you.
I mean, when someone trashed, bashed, and vehemently opposed everything you said. Someone who deliberately tried to disrupt the harmony of normal internet communication, a Q & A site, or a fan website?
The first time I encountered a troll, I thought the person, who was deliberately misquoting me and saying I didn’t understand something I plainly and cogently explained—I thought this person was either incredibly dense or insane. Later, that one or someone else, began stalking me on other threads and another website.
Some moderator somewhere directed me to a really good article that explained what an internet troll was and helped me to understand the psychology of such disruptive, crude, insulting individuals.
I don’t think there are as many now as there were several years ago. Many of them get banned, or discussion boards that are vulnerable to troll manifestations have shut down. But I think many people have a story about the time they experienced their first conflict with an internet troll.
