(135,425 posts)Put it in a sig line---they'll turn up, particularly if they're goaded and baited in the way that they do it to others. If the blog is in UK, where there's no privacy on the net, it's even easier to find out who they are.
That "reddit" guy played the game for years. The longer they play, the more they leave a footprint. Some of these idiots get so invested int Their little "online identity" that they just can't give it up. Their hubris is their undoing.
If troll hunting became fashionable, like yellow or blue fingernails on the teen set, or tattoos or piercings, or watching premium TV series in marathon fashion, we'd see more people participating in the practice, and the trolls would have to find something else to do.
Those CC guys must be unemployed or self-employed...who'd risk making such an ass of themselves when they have jobs they want to keep--then again, their trolling is so lame that no one cares enough to "get back" at them. I think it is humiliating for them--years from now, when their descendants go looking for what great grampa did in his life, they'll see a loser bully beating up on strangers on the internet--what a legacy!
Sometimes, trolling can be so pathetic and obvious that one can see the face behind the troll just by the lameness of their remarks. IMO, the uglier it gets, the more pathetic the troll appears to me. When they're so INVESTED in getting a shocked reaction, it's plain to see that they're the ones who are the "needy" ones in the equation.
