From The New York Times coming out this Sunday, “The Trolls Among Us.” I don’t have time to read it too much right now– I’m getting ready to go to Vegas, which my millions of readers will read about soon– but maybe I’ll pick up a copy of the NYT on Sunday for a change of pace. It looks like potential reading for a number of the classes I teach.
This is the blog, homepage, and/or portal for one Steven D. Krause, aka Professor Steven D. Krause, aka Steve, aka sitedad, aka a host of names not repeatable here. It used to be two different blogs, but now it is one.
You can contact me via email at stevendkrause at gmail dot com. Click here or "About" to learn more about me and the blog.
Oh, and to save myself a stop at a web site until after the election, here's an Electoral Vote Ticker:
I’ve read it. It is actually a little frightening. One of the “trolls” was responsible for publishing personal information about Kathy Sierra when she was being threatened. The guys interviewed for the article are malicious. They take pride in hurting people. The best word I can think of to describe them is “disturbed.”
Yes. They are a weird mix of insecurity and ego. They seem damaged and angry. I see Weev is crying foul over his treatment in the article - that’s really rich.
