[Air-L] Is there any published research on "trolling"?

[Thomas Jones]

Lost the original message, but I would be apprehensive about being able to fight or combat trolling, psychologically or sociotechnically. Online community governance is a slippery slope sometimes.

Though, I would be interested in reading Griefer Wars when published.
