So basically so long as she considers herself to be "funny" and not malicious, its OK to deliberately upset anybody and everybody she wants? Sounds like a depressing way to get your kicks to me.

There's trolling, and there's trolling.

People like Dally, and er, others, who get a kick out of putting across a point of view that is going to get someone's back up. You say it's white, so they say it's black, kind of thing.

Then there is posting hateful remarks about someone who's ill, dead, of another race etc, which is clearly unacceptable.

Agreed. I'd suggest that what the report talks about is not 'tolling', but bullying/abuse.

People like her in the article having something seriously missing from their lives.

Watched a really good programme on Richard Bacon recently. He tried to track down some trolls and in particular one that was really stalking him. He said he used to laugh it off until the trolls started on his wife and newborn baby and thats when he started to get angry about it. He confronted some other trolls who said they did it for a laugh and didn't expect the recipients to be upset. Yeah right

I've never pretended to be anyone other than me on the internet, most of you know my real name and thats really me next to Danny Houghton in my avatar. Same on FB, I don't see the point in pretending to be someone I'm not.

Most trolls do it for a reaction anyway, so if anyone responds I answer with the usual "Don't feed the troll".

Theres someone on here who we all know who is a totally different person off RL Fans. Its like he has a split personality, one for the Sin Bin one for "real life".

If someone punched her in the face and said it was performance art, would they get away with it?

I'm worse im real life for winding people up than on the internet, i like a little banter but i usually expect a bit back.

Bullying is bullying, no point making up a different name for it.
