Another point about “trolling” and people who mistakenly think everyone does it:
A lot of publications & pundits were late getting connected online. They didn’t have FB accounts or Twitter accounts. They’re super-thin-skinned, and when someone disagrees with them, they immediately react with butthurt to the extreme.
They block, ban, delete — and then cry about how “the Internet” has been taken over by “trolls”. I see ppl commenting all the time on how “the trolls” are so bad on this or that media — and the truth is, it’s just ppl disagreeing with the standard (usually liberal).
In some cases tho, it comes from our own side b/c there are plenty of senior citizen pundits who don’t get it.
Yup. This also reminds me of a common newbie mistake. They get all excited about arguing with liberals. They think they can go to a site and use simple logic and reason and the liberal will say, “gosh, you’re right. I never saw that aspect before.”
Of course, we all know, the more we argue with liberals, that they don’t use logic much, though they actually think they are the logical ones.
