I remember a time when I was very vulnerable to being hurt and influenced by things that were said to me out of meanness. 10 years ago, if someone would have suggested that I were a troll, I would have been devastated by that. I would probably never want to participate on the Net at all thereafter. That is also a long sentence to have to endure for the writing of a few dozen words.
