Trolls are hard to find in the real world, but all too common in the virtual one. "Trolling"--posting wilfully inflammatory, off-topic or simply stupid remarks--plagues blogs and other online forums. A way now exists to curb such mischief, but the remedy may be worse than the disease. Trolling is a side-effect of online anonymity. The problem is that so many people behave like one. In one of the first academic papers on the subject Judith Donath, an internet expert at Harvard University, called the behaviour a "game about identity deception". Often trolls are just out for the "LOLs"--the chance to "laugh out loud" at those who take their bait. But their antics at best degrade discussion and at worst bring mayhem.
