In this article it gives the definition on trolls and what they do. It explains that trolls are those who come into a online topic and brings negativity onto that topic. The article also brings up the question, who are these internet trolls behind the screen? Most of them have normal lives and everyday jobs but online they are a whole different person. The author Joel Stein bring us the term "shape self" which is his name The darker, crueler side of a person's personality or nature that they usually try to suppress. This is the side that most internet trolls would hide in person, but now since there's the internet and the idea of being anonymous, they have the route to exerting this character. They have a chance to show their real personalities, without a consequence. The author also bring up the idea that they aren't some junkies and drug dealers taking over the public park. He explains that everyone who uses the internet has the option of ignoring the comments and/or waking away. I agree with the other I'm ignoring these trolls. Giving them attention only makes them act out more, they're attention seekers.

  1. My incision of trolls is simply a distraction fro the task at hand. People who troll are the jealous individuals who are not receiving the same amount of success as the people in which they are trolling. Onviously those trolling are unhappy about the success one is having and find that by going on the internet, being anynymous, they have the right to criticize, troll, and do everything in their power to get to people's mind and throw them off their successful path. At the end of the day, trollers will always exist as long as success and social media cohexist. It is then up to the individuals having the success weather or not to allow the trolls to get to them or not.
