RE: What is the Source of Troll Energy Online?
Trolling is beneficial and serves a tremendously useful role in society and online discourse. It's not just "people being mean on the internet".
It is a meaningful application of the modern form of the Socratic method.
It has become popular to categorize anyone who disagrees or argues online as "trolling" or "a troll". Trolling is something very specific, and it's not just simply being mean. Many seem to get this wrong.
