Somehow I think... (Score 1)

...that the journalist got trolled.

Can you really trust someone who claims to be a troll to that degree not to, at the very least, exaggerate? Just because you talk to someone in person does not mean you are gaining any knowledge about them.

I think the journalist missed a few key points about the 'social trolls,' the people who are trying to prove something through trolling, Vs. Trolls who are just asshats (though the two are not mutually exclusive). The problem is that it's hard to see what's what unless you are really into the community. In otherwords, journalist needed to lurk moar.

However, that girl who shouted racial slurs at white people was hilarious.
