LOLOL Rather than banning them at the get-go we like to see them as a frog in a pot, in/on heat. Like you i miss them a bit. Once-in-a-while. This part of yours was particularly interesting:
In the US, the trends were slightly different.
* Over two thirds of American 25–34-year-olds (64%) have engaged in trolling online (defined as leaving intentionally offensive messages or insulting someone on purpose online)
* One in two (57%) acknowledge that others have been upset by their actions
* Over a third (40%) believe themselves to be considered as confrontational.
Using that definition we are treated most unfairly when we visit their sites. Posting to fact check and/or to simply offer correct information should never be seen as trolling.
It was Plato who said, “He, O men, is the wisest, who like Socrates, knows that his wisdom is in truth worth nothing”
