The Trolls Among Us

I’ve read this weekend’s lengthy New York Times Magazine article on internet trolls three times now and I still don’t know what to think. (Did the reporter himself get trolled by his subjects?) In a way, I came away feeling like the troll nonsense we have to deal with in the LGBT blogosphere is waaaay less severe than the shit the guys in the article are doling out on their victims. And that made me feel good for a minute. Then I reread the article again and just wanted to machine-gun them all to death.
