This topic may have been posted before, but I was unable to turn up any search results suggesting so.
"The Trolls Among Us"

Oddly enough, I stumbled onto this article from a link on Cracked.com, yet it was a very compelling read. I'm quite glad that I hopefully have never encountered inviduals on par with those mentioned, but I must say I was rather unnerved by the content of the article. I began to ponder the future of the internet and how this generation will handle it. Please take the time to read the article (it's a bit lengthy, I know), and offer your reactions.

You obviously didn't read the whole thing. Just as well, I posted in here to minimalize that kind of response.

Yes we all know that people on /b/ are dicks for going to his grave and calling up his parents. Nothing you could really do about it, shutting down 4chan or /b/ won't help. Real life trolling has pretty much come to a halt when it comes to shit like that now.

Someone hacked Henderson’s MySpace page and gave him the face of a zombie. Someone placed an iPod on Henderson’s grave, took a picture and posted it to /b/. Henderson’s face was appended to dancing iPods, spinning iPods, hardcore porn scenes.
I spat my milk out. I mean, i knew about all this stuff before, but seeing it appear in something like the NY Times makes it 100x funnier.

We've all heard of that stuff about 4 chan and whatnot, but I was more interested in comments about the other six pages.

Censorship raises its ugly head again... where did m3thod's joke about usmarine go? It was in this thread earlier this evening and now it's gone. It's a thread about trolls so it was entirely relevant!

Do you have to donate money in order to have your posts remain in a thread or something?

Obey the forum moderators and administrators. If your thread is closed, moved, or deleted for any reason, take up the issue with the mod or admin via private messages. Remember, however, that these rules are enforced and imposed upon our discretion.
Don't defend a pointless and irrelevant attack on another member with a bullshit call of censorship. You have absolutely zero perspective to understand just how much gets deleted or who has their content deleted. Your baseless accusations indicate perhaps a level of maturity some would say is unfit for this section, so I wouldn't be trying to insulting others for their behavior for fear of being a hypocrite.

Now, 4chan trolls spilling into real life.

“Lulz” is how trolls keep score. A corruption of “LOL” or “laugh out loud,” “lulz” means the joy of disrupting another’s emotional equilibrium. “Lulz is watching someone lose their mind at their computer 2,000 miles away while you chat with friends and laugh,” said one ex-troll who, like many people I contacted, refused to disclose his legal identity.

I know I am old.......but I remember when the internet was just for information only.  Then yahoo created chat, porn was tossed in, and all hell broke loose.

I was about to quote that line also.

It looks like they watched the foxnews broadcast before typing the article. lulz

No, the blame lies on AOL. It let young kids like me have a one-click access to the wide world of the world wide web.
