Hey -
I know we've run into some trolls (or some troll like behavior recently) and there's been some discussion about what makes someone want to behave this way? Today I was listening to one of my favorite podcasts "This American Life" and they did a great episode on this topic -

Anyway - worth a listen (you can download it easily to an iphone through itunes if you was to listen in the car)
The bottom line is - people completely lose their filter when anonymous and the trolling behavior is often more about the person trolling's personal issue than the person being trolled. But a good lesson in the podcast is - when you make it human... maybe your doing more damage than you'd like to admit.
