How to deal with Internet Trolls!?

I don't know of a solution to this problem, other than filtering, moderating or only interacting with people you have a pre-existing relationship with.
Time. Perhaps we will be genetically altered over time to fix previously poor wiring.

Yeah, although I'm hoping we won't have to wait that long. If we can solve it with technology and online reputation somehow, that would help. Not that I want to do away with free anonymous speech, but you can stay away from those places if you can't handle them.
I'm wondering if the information age will reduce the advantage of being a sociopath, when it's easier for stuff to follow you around. Just like how all the dirty cops are being exposed now with video.

@Nic You invent a workable system for internet reputation that does not violate privacy and you'll be a billionaire. Conservatively.

Just be sure to quit webroot first. Some companies have strict Intellectual property rules.

Too late, he's posted the idea. Most intellectual property right contracts state "when you think of it" not "when you make the money from it."

Actually, I argue he posted the concept but not the idea. The general concept for a system was posted but not the actual idea for how said system would work. I say he's fine.

It'd be like saying "I wish I could cross the USA in just 30 minutes without spending a fortune". The concept is there but the person who actually develops some sort of hyper-speed transport system would be fine.

If you said that and THEN developed the system with the one before quitting a job and the other after, I think you'd have a tough time in court claiming that the idea came to you after quitting and after posting that you wished you had that idea.
