Good people don't turn bad just cause they go online. Bad people are bad online cause they're able to be, they like it, they have no accountability. Jerks are everywhere, social media just lets them out of their basements more often.

Has anyone studied not whether women and minorities were more subject to trolling but whether stupid commenters were?
-
Yes. Women and men receive equal abuse. Ethnicity not a significant variable. Tribe is. Females are just as likely to abuse as males. People on social media are like a marauding army without a General.

Sometimes I think people are too quick to call people trolls. It's like thinking a person that's standing in the doorway, in your way, is doing it on purpose. People get frustrated with others and use the "troll" label to justify their exiting the uncomfortable conversation.

Sticks and stones may break my bones but electrons don't hurt me. I find it quite easy to just log off. More people, esp victims of so-called "online bullying", should try that. It is very liberating.

This describes online interactions as simple bad /good impulsions. Reality of exchanges is much more complex, as individual psychology has much more impact in bilateral discussions than a bootstrapping collective phenomenon would.

Had Goebbels, Stalin, and Qi Benyu access to the tools and techniques described in this article, the world would not look as it does today. The behind-the-scenes manipulation of basic human interactions described is not good. It simply eliminates dissent from the party line.

I'm both interested and lazy so I read the beginning. Does this article put out the idea that white men have it easiest online and then continue with the topic?
