It will definitely change how you see social media, and also develop a perspective on the troll. They are always there. I have slowly weaned myself off of paddling.net mainly due to the flaming trolls. Derrick,

Exactly right. One of my problems with the internet in general (and this has been true since I started rec.boats.paddle on Usenet in 1988) is that every voice, credible or not, has equal volume and until proven otherwise, equal standing. This is changing, but still, just reading some of the self-appointed experts on Paddling.net is unpalatable*. So I don't read P.net anymore, it just gives me a headache. DB *These people usually give a Coleman Ram-X canoe 9/10 in a review. Because they have one, and these reviews are like asking a person "Please rate the attractiveness of your baby." You can't say 10/10 because people will think you're unbiased or have never seen another baby so there's no point of reference. Bravo. Exactly right.
