RE: is being trolled come with the territory?

Trolls? No, I haven't seen any trolls here in a while. A couple of Redcaps, or maybe a Brownie or three.... possibly a no-good and improper Unseelie Fairy...
But no, usually one doesn't see a troll online, they just have their eyes closed and imagine that the growling of their own starvation is the hair-raising roar of a piglion.
Are those entering the territory delusional? Probably.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day

It does come with the territory, that doesn't mean it's deserved. If you put yourself into the public eye, especially on the internet you may very well attract unwanted attention from trolls and the like.
The guy in that video is a troll magnet, reacting like that just makes it all the more fun for trolls.

Indeed, is does come with a territory. You is either has a like for it or has a lump to it.
I hope I've cleared that up.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Pretty much, yeah.
I recently watched a doco on YouTube about the construction of the pyramids and other large ancient wonders and someone started a debate about giants and the "nephilim" building them.
