Friends, Graffiti, and Internet: 12 hrs
I wrote three limericks mildly stating that the
Democratic debates showed a party leaning
leftward that might be problematic in a general
election. I posted them yesterday and a couple
hours later got a flood of trolls, about thirty,
bang bang bang, short crisp obscene lines of
the FY variety, “Go away old man, your time is
up,” none of them personal, all generic, so I
deleted the post, wiping the graffiti away. How
do they do this? Is there a troll network by
which they alert each other? And do I have to
stop making public posts and limit them to
friends?
