Trolls Rejoice!

As an internet trolling legend, I’m honored to see my entertainingly-educational sport is now protected by the First Amendment. Fine, call “grasping the basics of human psychology” juvenile. Trolls have given you hilarious suicides and changed American history. If I was half the troll Jesus Christ was, I wouldn’t need this blog to become a real-life trolling legend.

If that statement made you angry, raise your hand. If the obvious trolls wring your neck, what chance do you have against Ann Coulter or the The Flat Earth Society? But there’s no shame in being trolled if you're new to the game. Next time, just consider a fact-checking run before e-mailing your State Senator about his new “Israel-Bombing Policy”.

When you take up trolling, you always assume every day is the day your house will be firebombed. But in fairness, who hasn’t been the victim of a firebombing? Trolling the internets may be dangerous, but someone needs to lead the cause. The greatest country in the world now says I can do that without repercussion.
