Ned, a troll? That explains a lot;>
But seriously, Tom, I can't always post a lot either. And when I do, I occasionally enjoy goofing around (see above comment). But, from what I've seen, ILM/E thrives on the strange questions....as well as the serious ones.
I try to only post when I've got summat to say about a particular subject, but it's not easy to resist the pull when you are "surrounded" by talkers. In fact, that's what makes it fun.
Why not think of it this way: we outnumber the "trolls" 100 to 1.

it's mostly a very harsh review of Gabriella Coleman, who i've heard on the radio at least once explaining the Anons. She also chimes in in the comments, looks like, on something pretty minor.

two stories about the exposure of trolls:
more adrian chen!
http://www.technologyreview.com/photoessay/533426/the-troll-hunters/
a group of volunteer researchers called Researchgruppen, or Research Group,has pioneered a form of activist journalism based on following the crumbs of data anonymous Internet trolls leave behind and unmasking them. In its largest troll hunt, Research Group scraped the comments section of the right-wing online publication Avpixlat and obtained a huge database of its comments and user information. Starting with this data, members meticulously identified many of Avpixlat’s most prolific commenters and then turned the names over to Expressen, one of Sweden’s two major tabloids. In December 2013, Expressen revealed in a series of front-page stories that dozens of prominent Swedes had posted racist, sexist, and otherwise hateful comments under pseudonyms on Avpixlat, including a number of politicians and officials from the ascendant far-right Sweden Democrats.

I confronted him about the issue very tamely, over breakfast. I asked him, flat out, if he was harassing and bullying people online. He said yes, and immediately withdrew. After telling him that I needed to know why -- really why, not just "I don't know", he said he needed time to think about it.
When he finally gave me his answer, I was disappointed. He said he trolled/bullied people because it was an outlet for him to relieve stress. He said he didn't view the people as real, or what he was doing as anything other than a joke, and if it hurt feelings, "those people have bigger problems and it's not my fault."
I told him that it wasn't an acceptable behavior of an adult, and that he needed to stop it and find another way to express his frustrations that didn't involve hurting strangers. He said he would think about it.
Unfortunately, he's still doing it.
