Trolls are a waste of time

       My definition of a troll are those small ugly creatures who live under a bridge but Ms colln laughed at me said we are talking about the internet trolls. I did not know what an internet troll was. For those who who are like me here is the definition. Trolls are people who starts arguments or upset people by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community. To me trolling is a just a waste of time like there is really no point to add chaos to the world, there's already enough of that. If you have a problem say it face to face instead of behind a computer. People have actually killed themselves because of cruel trolls.
       We shouldn't have anonymous post anymore for example, that one app oggle or oogle and ask.fm. These apps were very uncivil but i'm not going to lie sometimes it was funny but most times it was not. "It quickly morphed to refer to the monsters who hide in darkness and threaten people...Trolls are turning social media and comment boards into a giant locker room in a teen movie, with towel-snapping racial epithets and misogyny” (TIME). This is a perfect example on what a troll is and what trolls do to society. You could use your time wisely by finishing up homework, beat someone in 8 ball pool, or hang out with your family and friends. So that is why i think trolling is a waste of time for you and the reader. Say it face to face,period.

  1. I couldn't agree with you more. In today's society people like to hide behind the internet to make fun of or antagonize someone just for laughs. There shouldn't be any tolerance for such acts, whether in person or online. Also, Uche is right, people should be using there time more productively. This, in itself, is a serious but foolish problem that continues to grow in our society and we must put an end to it.
