Gentleperson's Guide to Government Trolls.

[l0st]

We've now circled all they way back to the start.  Internet trolls can't be effective without the Internet.  Internet trolls are created by people who want the conspiracy of trolls to be true, not the other way around (as they would have you think).  Without people depending on the Internet for their reality, trolls cannot exist.

Hahaha I assure you, trolls were around lloooonngg before the Internet. I was a SysOp on 6 different BBSes, but primarily moderated only the one of them. Had to give several the boot over that stuff. They were around on Compuserve message boards circa late 80's, too.
