Take a special note for their definition of trolls as a "Subculture with fluid morality" ... not sure if that makes me want to laugh really hard, or sob my eyes out...

i wouldn't relate a troll with culture. i am losing faith in humanity over that article.

I read that last week. It was really good, and I think had a lot to do with group behavior, the desire to weed the weakest elements from one's social pack, and to opportunistically sieze on openings. While (as IA said) it speaks negatively of the "goodness" in our culture, the article was super well written.
