An Internet "troll" is a person who delights in sowing discord on the
Internet. He (and it is usually he) tries to start arguments and upset
people.

Trolls see Internet communications services as convenient venues for their
bizarre game. For some reason, they don't "get" that they are hurting real
people. To them, other Internet users are not quite human but are a kind of
digital abstraction. As a result, they feel no sorrow whatsoever for the
pain they inflict. Indeed, the greater the suffering they cause, the greater
their 'achievement' (as they see it). At the moment, the relative anonymity
of the net allows trolls to flourish.

Trolls are utterly impervious to criticism (constructive or otherwise). You
cannot negotiate with them; you cannot cause them to feel shame or
compassion; you cannot reason with them. They cannot be made to feel
remorse. For some reason, trolls do not feel they are bound by the rules of
courtesy or social responsibility.

Perhaps this sounds inconceivable. You may think, "Surely there is something
I can write that will change them." But a true troll can not be changed by
mere words.
