Most of the time, the answer to all pain caused by trolls is just to ignore it, or simply turn off the screen. A victim of online trolling should not let the trolls' nasty comments affect them in any way because they are just looking for trouble. Also, it could depend on how severe the trolling is or how the victim feels about it. If the victim cannot seem to let go of the situation, maybe ignoring them is not the best option. Trolling has become a problem and a threat to others on social media. Handling the problem is not easy, but it does need to be put to a stop before any more people are hurt by these inconsiderate trolls.
After reading the article "What Happened When I Confronted My Cruellest Troll," I realized how serious the trolling can be. But the fact that this troll actually apologized and owned up to their mistake is incredible. I wish more trolls were as mature as this one, even though it was immature to begin trolling in the first place.
Also, from the NYT articles, I can tell that many different people have different opinions on online anonymity. For example, some articles said that anonymity is a positive thing for certain groups of people to talk about particular issues, and some said that it is a negative thing because it allows trolls to hide from other people and the law.
