   I'm not sure "accelerating it" is quite right. It's definitely made it   
   more visible and given a platform for like-minded idiots (once isolated   
   in their own bedrooms) to think they are "right" because they are the   
   most noisy.   
      
   I remember even in the early '90s - before the Internet had the web and   
   the public easy access - there were plenty of trolls. I think what's   
   changed is that they were easier to ignore.
