Like most people here (everyone?) I’d let things stand so long as they weren’t blatant spam etc. I’d be inclined to edit out offensive language with a note saying I’d done it, not the poster, so that everything was transparent though – am I alone in that?

1) I delete spam comments and those from obvious anonymous trolls looking for backlinks and Google juice.

2) I also delete rude, impolite and obnoxious ad hominem comments.

Occasionally, I get bombarded with (2) from what I call the Dendreonites, middle aged men who don’t like my position on Dendreon’s Provenge vaccine. The rudeness and personal comments from them are particularly vicious and nasty. I reserve the right not to give them the attention they so obviously crave.

I agree with you blogs are for encouranging debate and you can’t have a debate without opposing views

If it’s just a sarcy or snarcy comment it’s best to leave it as it shows the author up for the poor unfortunate that they are.

On the other hand – if it is edging towards legal areas of defamation it has to go – else legal action can ensue, especially where third parties are involved or could be identified from any content. Case Law exists that can leave you in trouble – and some have been known to abuse this for nefarious reasons.

There are those with “Issues” who do need attention. They will Seek It Out – Create It – Revel In it – and keep on going.

There is an increasing understanding and pool of knowledge of how those with Sociopathic tendencies – and even full blown Sociopathic Natures – will and do operate via the net.

The term Troll is not appropriate for these characters as they do not present in classic Troll Guise.

The Net Sociopath or even “Netopath” will play games across multiple net venues and even involve others as Lieutenants in what can be seen as Net Bullying and Mobbing . This tactic is used to side step T&Cs across multiple venues so that they stay just this side of both social and legal limits to be able to continue.

Opinion replaces facts – subjects are changed and added to to keep the subject away from their conduct – and the killer give away is if asked a direct question about what they had written or done there will be not answer – they can never account for their own actions. If they do not respond they will lurk seeking the opportunity to respond and attack later.
Law enforcement agencies world wide are playing catch up world wide on the nature of Harassment and illegality such Netopaths display and how they operate.

So to delete or not? If it’s a Sarcy/Snarcy incident – back it up and keep copies – preferably in a locked and password protected Pdf. Be careful how you respond as you may be opening up a Netopath control game and they always like to play Pied Piper and haver you following them across the net.

If it’s heading into legal realms on defamation do the same and record your reasons for removing it. If your dealing with a Netopath they may attempt to turn on you and claim you are abusing them and involved in defamation. Again Back it all up in Locked Pdf.

If you believe you are dealing with a Netopath, Back up everything across all net venues and keep it recorded – and on each occasion notify the owners of any service of breach of T&Cs – explain how their service is being abused for the Netopath’s amusement across multiple venues. If the Netopath starts to contact you or associates by multiple routes – call in the police and seek Harassment charges.

One thing to remember is that a Netopath does not think or feel like you – they are very different and “Your” thinking and feelings just get in the way. Whilst you attempt to understand the Netopath as a normal person you simply can’t and they retain control and enjoy your confusion.

This link provides a chilling insight into the nature of a Netopath – or Sociopath in everyday life.

If you end up dealing with a Netopath the secret is to recognise them early and don’t act or react as they expect.
