Well put Highwater.

It never ceases to amaze me who effectively people can appropriate the language of marginalized groups to suit their own ambitions. The major complaint of trolls here seems to be that somewhere on the internet exists a web forum that doesn't entirely agree with them. Worse yet, it gets attention. And for its most fatal sin, it has default viewing settings that tend to dim their barbs and insults after a number of users vote to do so.

I seriously wish this was the worst censorship and oppression I had to worry about. Sadly, some of us have far more serious concerns than the existence of a web forum they disagree with. Some people are glad to have web forums at all, and many more don't have even that.

The sensorship has sailed. If trolling is free speech, then so is radio-jamming and DDOS attacks. It's a purely disruptive tactic and needs to be seen as such.
