The major issue is the notion that "jerks sometimes" is evolving into "jerks all the time."
Not yet sure how much of this notion stems from the focus on the problem and how much is actual increase, but it's a problem nonetheless. Why do we tolerate as much trolling as we do? Why do we continue to see trolls as just trolls when we have evidence of people being bullied to suicide via the signal-magnification effect of online interaction?

I think it's an outgrowth of more information created (so the trolls, if you're looking for them, will have more trolling as well). It's just like how the news is claiming things are always getting worse. They're not. Things are better than ever, we're just getting much better at hearing about the outlier cases of when bad things do happen.
