Haram.

Well, here's the thing partner. Emotions are a very real thing. And like it or not, they show up in our actions. They influence how we act. It's very subtle, but still there. And words, are not immune to this. Although the internet dilutes the "feeling" or even generates a pre-concieved one, it's still there.

A really noticable example of this would be artists. Musicians. Some artists, some musicians, channel what they're feeling into their work williingly, and consciously. And they're so good at it, that they can legitimately influence people directly.

Opera singers make their audience cry. The audience isn't crying for no reason. Because in their voice, that opera singer is channeling that. Making that audience feel, what they feel. A good song that makes you smile. A horror movie that scares the shit out of you.

Our entire world is laced with emotions that seep into our works.

So what is an internet troll?

An asshole.

And they emit that in their writing, and their actions on the internet. They're negative people. And they're so good at what they do, that they can manipulate a user on the other end into feeling that negativity as well.

Just like an artist's picture that generates a feeling in you. Just like a song that can make you smile no matter what. Their words are laced with that feeling, that mood, and that will.

People feed off each other. Put two positive people together, and they raise each other. Two negatives, they sink each other. A negative and a positive? Depending on which side is stronger, the positive will raise the negative and balance them. Or the negative will sink the positive down to their level.

That's what an "internet troll" is.

The negative side of a very, very wide spectrum.
