Well... it is a horrible thing to do, but... I've had girlfriends I wish I did that to.
Of course; we all have read about something terrible and wish in hindsight we'd done it [to someone]. What separates people are the ones that have the self control or maturity to have thought about it and NOT done it.

don't think it's internet dating per se. you can meet people in the internet like you would on a bar. hell I have a couple of friends who got to know each other on bbs chat.
but if you pay for dating services, internet or not, thats just weird. like giving up.

If you don't like drinking or have children that takes out bars.

The ones who got trolled were those who were sitting at their computers, watching, alone.
