On an infertility board I belong to, every so often a troll would show up and literally just start "attacking" and just saying the most lunatic things. Some people would get offended, but I mostly just laughed because the person(s) was/were so deranged. I also think that people that do this like to "be fed" - - i.e., rile people up. That's why they do what they do....My only real advice is to "ignore" and hope they try to get fed elsewhere.

I am sorry if you have been attacked. It stinks.

I do think even short of "troll" behavior, the anonymity of the internet allows people to be bullies sometimes. I also worked with a guy who for some reason was really nice but in his emails always came across as a "jerk" - - sometimes I wonder if people just don't know how they come across in the written word.
