You are being sexist, Margaret, and painting women as the victims.  Lots of trolls ARE women, and, they will happily troll other women.  Unfortunately, we have come to the stage where if anyone says something you don't like, you call it 'trolling'.   Like anyone, I have had negative comments and replies from both men & women, just as I expect will occur here - be sure you look at the female names that are trolling me, and be sure to write an article about it called 'why women are trolls'.   That would be fair, now wouldn't it?
