> "Trolls" in quotes, because it's a subjective judgement. "Defensive people" because I have seen many who I would characterize that way, and it appears that the most defensive are the ones who want a third-party solution the most. I am often perplexed at how incredibly defensive some are about posts that do not involve or are not directed at them. Why do they feel the need to defend? Why are they so sure that someone or the website need defending? Are they as defensive in real life, and do they expect third-party intervention? Are they unable to let something pass without action? Is it about virtue and nobility, ala Don Quixote?
