If you’ve traveled around the circuit track of the Internet a couple of times, you’ve heard about trolls trolling. What does that mean? For the Internet unfamiliar, it’s basically a bunch of not so lovely online folks who post stuff to get people angry. The latest video from PBS Off Book explains trolling, cyber bulling and how freedom of speech works on the Internet.
The internet is a powerful tool for communication, but it can sometimes be a double-edged sword. As most of us have seen or experienced, the internet can bring out the worst behavior in people, highlighting some of the cruelest and most hurtful aspects of humanity. Issues such as bullying online and trolling have garnered a lot of attention recently, prompting questions about who does, and should, regulate the internet, and what free speech means online.

T for Troll #FTW
I got bullied a bit at school, i’m sure most adults did. I’m just glad we didn’t have all these things when i was at school otherwise i’m sure i would have suffered more than i did!
High school is a disgusting place. Horrible kids with no concept of consequence. I think its worse now than when we were at school.
Taf should sue all the droid fanbois on here. Cyberbullied the f”!£k out of him. Doesn’t even post anymore.
HAHAHA!
He’s not the only one gone, or no longer commenting here because of bullying in the comments. Not just over phone os preferences either…
And what about you Token, should I serve you with a writ for the mental anguish you cause me.
That was always playful banter. Poor old Taffy got abused :/ Like a rocking horse at a nunnery :/
Besides, my piss poor efforts at trolling were always taken as that. Piss poor efforts at trolling.
True, you are piss poor at it, I’m just jealous of your dazzling good looks and charm
As for Taf, he gave as good as he got, and a lot of what he got was because of what he gave. He was always of the opinion that he was going to speak his mind no matter what others thought of it. A noble and courageous attitude.
True, he did dish it out quite a bit :/ That fruit company didnt make it an easy task for him either. Such easy pickings
with all that has happened of late.
Alas, Mr Jones. I shall be absent for some time too. Relocating with the missus down to the land down under, where the woman glow and the men chunder.
What on earth genuinely happened to Taf…
Got butthurt and left.
Ah. Thought it was more complicated
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Token, I shall miss you, you piss poor pisstaking bastard. Hope you give those corked hat wearing buggers over a Giz Au as hard a time as you have given us.
I think we should employ Otto Jespersen to hunt down this new breed of trolls and turn them to stone!
Trolling – What the writers at Giz US call writing like a writer at Giz US when it isn’t done by a writer at Giz US.
I just think people should get over it, Bullying is a part of life and always has been and on the internet it is very easy to just ignore it. I don’t see why people care so much about what other people they din;t know thinks about them. Lets be honest over the internet those people don’t really think anything of you, they don’t even know you.
In real life I’ve never been bullied at school so I don’t know about that but I just think stop being pathetic and stick up for yourselves. It has always existed, it is human nature and it happens with animals too, put 3 animals together and two normally pick on the one.
If I’ve ever had a problem with someone when I was at school, just had a fight, you both get over it and it really clears the air.
