After fifteen years or so of blogging and social media, I would aver that the essence of trolling and other online unpleasantness is not rudeness or offensiveness
Anyone can inadvertently be rude or offensive; and once told, you apologise and modify.
No, the essence of trolling and other online unpleasantness is self-righteousness.
The “so what” to being told that you are rude or unpleasant.
Being nasty or obnoxious, because you can.
It is not a good or healthy thing.
