This is an interesting albeit poorly controlled study about on line trolls.
I believe Patch should require a real name log in system in order to encourage people to take public responsibility for their comments. But, having said that, most of the exchanges here have contained strongly-held ideological differences of opinion. Other sites have become hate-fests for losers and sociopaths.
I guess when you have an economy that is producing high unemployment and a lack of hope, people have nothing better to do than harass each other. Idle time is the Devil's time.
