Internet hostility

The real trick to enjoying internet is to understand what the trolls already know: It's the fucking internet. If you're taking it seriously, you've already lost the game.

I don't understand how trolls get their kicks from this, though. You're basically role-playing an argument, for the sake of watching walls of meaningless text scroll past. Do you get wet just imagining the flustered geek on the other line, or do you feel it's your civic duty to intimidate sub-par forum-goers?

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Well, no, you see, society has always been like this, internet or no internet. It's just human nature. The history books omit the parts about how your forefathers regularly stomped the shit out of faggots, because it's not really pertinent information.

Violence and racism have more controls over them now, but they are still alive and well. It'll probably always be that way, too.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
