Troll-ing along

I follow a few blogs and have found other blogs through them. Recently there seems to be a spike in trolls airing their silly little jibes and petty thoughts on several of these blogs. I don't understand trolls, If I think somebody is a twat, I want to stand in front of them and call them a twat. I want to see their face and hear the intake of breath, Where's the joy in lurking in front of a screen with no connection to reality?
   I wonder what the troll is like in real life? Is there a specific type of person who becomes a troll? I tend to think of the troll as a middle-aged man, Daily Mail reader, probably single, Maybe quite shy as his views are probably not mainstream, possibly not very intelligent.
 So there sits my troll figure, in his small bedroom (elderly mum is probably downstairs), munching on Pringles, probably in his underpants in case he wanders across some porn on the internet, Will he have posters of totally unattainable women on his walls? Oh yes. He will also have a Union Jack as he's Proud to be British. He doesn't work because of his bad back, but he thinks most jobs are beneath him anyway. Does he sometimes pretend to be a lady troll? Yes I think he probably does because then he can post as a "proper woman" who looks after her man as he deserves to be looked after. He doesn't actually need a woman, as his mum runs herself ragged looking after him, But that doesn't stop him hating women in general.
  I tend not to think of women as trolls, I suppose they must do it though. Equality means we can all be equally vile if we feel the urge.  Sad times.
