Trolling on Topix
I’m of two minds about the requirement of Topix to identify their posters. (See Texas judge orders site to identify anonymous trolls, flamers.)
- Before the Indy Star switched to a new system, I used to troll on the boards by taking the opposite opinion of everyone else (or what I thought would be the opposite opinion). While I did it for fun, I would like to think this stirred some useful debate. When I posted some what anonymously (as The Plaid Cow), I would not expect Topix to tell people who I was (but anyone who really wanted to find me, probably could).
- Trolling is an art. These people are just assholes.
