Can I ask about trolls?

Not all "ooh they must be flayed alive " I find them highly entertaining most if the time.
I want to ask how you know they are. Are they mostly men or women? Are they site users having a laugh?

Obv some are pervs but others who post rather tragic stories is it just for attention? Or novelists trying out a new story?!

Do you get repeat offenders?
Tell all

Interesting questions.
I'd always assumed it was just the same IP addresses of previous offenders coming up, with no way of knowing who/what was at the end of that IP address.

But someone somewhere must have researched what sort of people are more likely to be trolls - whether they're more likely to be male, 40 and living in Leeds or whatever.
