Does trolling a social website fall somewhere on the violation spectrum?

Asked by Blueroses (18256points) January 5th, 2012

A very recent private discussion led to speculation that people who troll don’t care as much about the topic as they do controlling and manipulating people into sympathy or argument. Potentially, “victims” who fall for the bait could feel abused or violated when they discover they’ve been used.

Is trolling a form of textual rape? Where does it fall on the spectrum?
