The Future Of Troll Politics

Online politicking is not new. But online politicking via the techniques of trolling – the use of pointless arguments to confuse subjects, the desire to get a rise out of the Internet, and the careful management of media through threats and calls of bias – are all coming into the mainstream.
This is a form of political theatre -  the goal – if there is a goal – is to confuse and cloud issues and simply have fun. 
There is nothing serious behind this group except the severity of their threats and bullying. 
They are a chat room gone out of control and every media reaction, including this one, feeds their glee.
