Old-time Nobody: “Social networks provide a slew of opportunities to connect with old friends, but that doesn’t mean you need to befriend your third-grade buddy Bill, whom you haven’t had a discussion with in 20 years. Usually they mention a time in your life the two of you shared when you were kids. Ma ...[text shortened]... wo-dimensional.” Team Technology, Beware the Troll (to be continued) https://www.ipredator.co/troll/

Ranting Troll: “Ranting troll has an ax to grind and his preferred place to do this is on your blog or in a review of your book.
