This is perhaps a bit off-topic, but it seems to me that there's a problem with the excessively widespread use of the word 'troll'. Often this is wrong because it dismisses people who are sincerely trying to argue a point in a hostile setting. In cases like the one we're talking about it's wrong because it mischaracterises people who are actually waging campaigns of harassment. From what I've read (which is admittedly far from comprehensive), MikeeUSA's contributions (which I understand are both public and private) aren't designed to provoke an entertaining backlash, they're intended to wear women down into submission and surrender. Describing him as a troll is misstating the case and letting him off easy.
