After reading the article "What Happened When I Confronted My Cruellest Troll" by Lindy West, it made me think about the problems of society, which is where to draw the line on opinions. So where is this imaginary boundary line? Troll's run outside the line. Online they comment on any ideas or on good readings that might get in the way of their domination, not to mention the part where they are like humans just with no sense of humanity. They will comment on your ideas and try to ruin your day. So how is it that every other person is able to see the line, but not trolls? After I fathomed the question for so long, I came to my conclusion. It's because troll's are the darkest parts of society. Unable to see the light (or the line cause it's dark).
Don't get me wrong opinions are not the problem we have, the problem is that sometimes we take to extremes (and sometimes they're not even opinions). I bring this up because online there are thousands upon thousand of comment threads that bring up good points of the article or outlines the bad parts of it, but sometimes people need a good check point that reads" Remember it's just a thought, no need to make spam comments", because it's true some people will start making outrageous comments that aren't even entitled to be on the comment thread.
Main point of this: Know where to stop as far as opinions go.
