Key Points:
Myth: Trolls are alone in their mothers' basements.
Many of them operated in well-organised international syndicates. Trolling has its own culture, language, "lore" and history — most of which is incredibly hard to grasp from the outside.
Myth: Trolls are uneducated losers.
But like many of the harassers I've investigated, the man who appeared to trigger predator trolling against my family and was not ignorant or uneducated. He's married with six children. He previously worked for the Washington Times as assistant national editor.
Myth: Trolling is mindless.
Trolling is a complex behaviour and each of the trolls I have met over many years has been incredibly different from the next. Trolling is a complex behaviour and each of the trolls I have met over many years has been incredibly different from the next.
Myth: Trolls can't hurt you in real life.
(case study about an activist whose dog was poisoned and horse killed)
Myth: Only loud mouthed feminists are trolled.
The survey found 44 per cent of women and 34 per cent of men have experienced one or more forms of online harassment. This is equivalent to 8.8 million Australians experiencing harassment online. Men experience more abusive language for their religion, ethnicity and political beliefs than women. But women report more online abuse in all other categories.
Apart from the "well organised international syndicates", which strikes me as very close to people who believe in gang stalking, the rest of her points seem pretty much on the money. But moving from Mother's basement to an international syndicate for garden variety trolling as mostly seen on BBs or Facebook et all is a huge stretch. In politics, not so much of a stretch.
