Different Levels of Trolling
After reading the NYT debate articles it has given me many different views and aspects on the issue. My opinion on the subject at first was that they were just harmless little bullies behind a screen. From my understanding, trolls weren't that bad, atleast that's all that I have experienced. Although after hearing about the situation with Zelda Williams, I finally realized that some trolls are completely out of control. Milner spoke in his article that trolling is important and I do agree, but at some point we must stop the madness. We can't continue to let people get hurt from trolling. There are different levels of trolling as Manivannan said in his article. There is a specific type of trolling that I think we should get rid of and that is the trolling where people try to directly hurt someone's feelings. While we should get rid of that version of trolling and anonymity, I do believe we should keep the trolling where people give there opinions and insert there comments. This is needed to create an intellectual conversation.

Yeah, after reading different articles, I have now realized how much of an impact words can make on a person's life. I think that no matter what people are going to get offended by what someone says, even if they meant to be rude or not. I think that we should still let people say what they have to say but draw a line where they start to hurt someone's feelings like you said.
