As a middle aged straight white guy, I don’t get trolled on social media very often. But I see it happen to friends all the time.

I think what we ended up with is something that’s more useful than a game.
Mary’s post on the exchange is here. As something of a palate cleanser here’s a picture of Mary and I as best man and matron of honor at the vow renewal for our friends Michael and Lynne Thomas. I don’t know about any of the rest of you, but even briefly playing the troll makes me feel more than a little filthy.
