From the article: "Unlike the mythological creatures of early Scandinavian folklore, online trolls are real, and dealing with them is never a fun experience.

"An internet troll, as defined by Wikipedia, is:

“…a person who posts inflammatory, insincere, digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog), with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses, or manipulating others’ perception.”

"...anyone can become a troll ... research shows that someone is more likely to engage in trolling late at night or at the beginning of the working week [and if] someone sees “troll comments” in a discussion it can have a knock-on effect that makes it twice as likely they will join in and become fellow trolls."
