LTHForum.com

I've noted that periodically LTH comes under attack by folks who begin with a deferential or apologetic post about disliking a board favorite, and escalate to general inflammatory remarks. While I'm not implying that anybody is anything, I thought it might be useful to have a reference point, or at least a reminder that not everything on the internet is what it seems: there's quite a bit of internet research out there, and I thought this might be a spot for it. (Yes, the first article is in a kids' site, but I thought it had a lot of good basic information.)

What is a troll?
Things that go bump in the night
Avoid flame wars and internet trolls

Kind of creepy to think that there are people out there who just want to disrupt online communities -- but I guess you disrupt what you can access.

Thanks for the info, Mhays -- very good articles with lots of useful info.
