Where Are The Trolls On Medium?
They Who Must Not Be Named!
I know. NOW I’VE DONE IT!
Crawl back into your dirty little crannies, you creepy creatures!
But I am actually serious, or at least completely sincere.
I can’t figure out how such a vast place as Medium isn’t plagued by trolls.
Heck, I’ve encountered nothing but positive engagements, excepting one.
And that one wasn’t a troll. I’m not a prude, but he was using sex to get a read. So I blocked him. I hate blatant manipulation.
But we’re clear, right? Trolls argue just to argue, they demean just to be mean, they’re arrogant and self-righteous, and they are very troubled folks.
So, Medium, what are you doing with such as they?
Do you have an in-house extermination crew?
Do you have special troll police?
(Again, I’m a little serious here.)
I keep looking over my shoulder, expecting slings and arrows from behind.
But all I get are claps, and responses, and the kindest words I’ve ever read.
It’s got nothing to do with what I write.
