Stirring up Trouble

Personally, I do not understand the trolls online. I feel like trying to make others mad or starting unnecessary arguments on the internet just wastes time. Especially if it is done anonymously, because the person is not taking credit for what they are say. I just think maybe they want attention or they have nothing else better to do. If it is for attention, I don't understand why they would disguise themselves because no one knows who they are. On the other hand, I know it is not easy to ignore trolling because many people have the urge to respond as a defense. And with our technology advancing we will continue to have trolls that stir up trouble. Unfortunately, it is one of the consequences that comes with the internet. I do not think we can get rid of trolls completely, but I do believe that by ignoring and not giving them satisfaction, we can decrease online trolling.

  1. I definitely agree with you Celesten! Trolls can be unnecessary. Why bother wasting your time worrying about others instead of worrying about yourself? Are they not aware that we have feelings too? But then again, there must had been something that led them to become trolls. Maybe it's escaping reality or just pure boredom. Moreover, I agree there's not much we can do. There will always be trolls online. However, ignoring is the best strategy. Ignoring will just increase their boredom and they will just move on to their next victim.
