Internet Trolls? They Go With the Territory The Woodbury Report

Guest: Richard Reeve, the Head of School at Allynwood, Hancock, NY, explains what exactly a troll does and how in the world does this term have anything to do with our show? Particularly, we are not talking about the ugly, mythical cave dweller of folklore, but rather a 21st century person who likes to start arguments, or post inflammatory messages in an online community like a chat room, a forum or a blog. Perhaps by accident or deliberate, these trolls provoke readers into an emotional response or even take part in online harassment.
