This is a public service blog:

A place of refuge - whether from trolls, or from your anger and frustration due to trolls. Take a moment to collect your thoughts. Or consider what you are learning about trolls over at TPM Muckraker - and share your insights here.

Today's question: Do trolls have souls? We are wondering whether they actually have one - to sell - or if they have none, because they are trolls. Or can one become a troll - by selling one's soul?

If a troll has no soul: Consider its droppings vacant, empty. And just pass on by.

This blog is provided as a public service.

Trolls, their friends and foes, are invited to post here - in lieu of the threads at TPM Muckraker.

If you have written to a troll, make your confession now and seek forgiveness.

If you are a troll, repent! And go elsewhere. If you are unable to do either, you may leave your droppings here. Where you can expect them to be troll-rated.

As a public service this blog is being provided for those who need to rant, investigate, or simply waste time on trolls.

Please post here - rather than in Muckraker threads. Keep the threads clean!

Some research suggests that trolls have an extra "y" chromosome - similar to criminals. Others suggest they simply lacked attention in childhood. Trolls: Is it nature or nurture?
