Trolls or Cowards

 Internet Troll: A person who sows discord on the Internet by starting quarrels or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community with the intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal, on topic discussion, often for the trolls amusement. I personally think that trolls are cowards, because they sit behind a computer monitor or a screen and try to emotionally attack someone through social media. I say they are cowards because when someone trolls they are able to be mean to someone without the face to face encounter. Which allows them to hide behind a screen and act even more bold then an average person would apposed to if they were face to face with that person. I feel that social media gives certain people a confidence they would not normally have, but do not get me wrong that can be a good thing. Although when certain people take advantage of such a powerful tool like social media that is when a problem is created and trolls come about. I think that social media is a great and powerful tool, yet I think that trolls take advantage of it and use it for negative reasonings knowing that they can hide behind the comfort of their computer monitor or screen. What do you guys think about trolling? Do you think that they are cowards? Or that they are just people who choose to be mean through social media and community networking cites?
