Anyone who’s read the comments under an article, review or blog post knows that the Internet abounds with pointless vitriol. Even apart from being immature and hurtful, this type of trolling makes online information less helpful, since you have to scroll through plenty of unproductively angry comments to get to ones that are actually entertaining or useful. So the next time you see a troller’s comment, balance it with a positive or at least thoughtful one. You can call yourself an “elevator of Internet discourse” (but not online, because you’ll get (fairly) blasted for pretension).
Effort involved: a line of text doesn’t take long to craft. Making it witty - now, that’s another story.
