On the subject of Internet Trolls: From The Boston Globe

See here

An interesting and sometimes disturbing problem in the internet age. It is truly disheartening to read some of the meanspirited comments posted on many web sites. For example, my local paper, The Portland Press Herald, seems to attract tons of awful, stupid comments on its site. It would be nice to be able to exclude the nasty ones, but where does freedom of expression come in? The answers aren't here yet and it will be fascinating to see if anything can be done about this problem in the future.
