Trolls are cowards!

Trolls remind me of Gremlins. Some started out as good posters, but something went wrong and they mutated into these horrible people that post offensive av’s and content. They verbally attack and harass good posters to the point these good posters get fed up and don’t return. Not sure of what solution CBS can come up with to terminate the trolls, but in this day of modern technology something should be able to be done.

I agree- Trolls are definately cowards!  They have multiple id's and keep on coming back to bother real posters.  They could be people that don't have jobs, or no lives... LOL - who knows, but I do find it fasinating how they can talk about people that they don't even really know!

Good title for a blog - "what is a troll" - I like it!

Actually, I have complained to CBS about it (sure I'm not the first person).  Here is what they said:

The Community is working on addition upgrades to weed out trolls.

So I guess they're trying their best.  But there's just so many trolls.  Actually, there are probably only a few people, but they have many screen names!

...

can't think of anything else to say at the moment...

Great blog Ivan!

As a kid growing up I always understood trolls to be those creepy little people that hid underneath bridges.Now they just hide behind computer screens. Guarantee.....these were the same fat red headed kids that were thrown in dumpsters and harassed by all the other kids growing up. Unfortunately....they are like cockroaches........you will never be able to exterminate them all.
