They're writing about trolls in news articles now

Men were found to be more than twice as likely to engage in the behaviour as women, and highly assertive people were also more likely to flame, researchers Mei Alonzo and Milam Aiken wrote in the journal Decision Support Systems.

Don't you mean 2 of 3 trolls are men?

The best is being accused of trolling when you aren't 🙂. I guess repeatedly calling someone a troll is a form of trolling.
