Trolling, Twitter and him

This is going to be a long post – apologies but I have to get all my thoughts down.

In Internet terminology a troll is a person who starts arguments or upsets people, by posting inflammatory or abusive messages in an online community – such as places like Twitter or Facebook –  with the intent of provoking  a target into an emotional response often for the troll’s amusement. Media attention in recent years has equated trolling with online harassment. For example, the mass media have used “troll” to mean “a person who defaces Internet tribute sites with the aim of causing grief to families.”
