I came across this expose of an infamous Redditor Moderator responsible for creating and supplying the subreddit 'Jailbait' with the underage photos of teens 10-15 years old.

Violentacrez was considered a troll par excellence in his community, but seems to have been more ‘real’ about himself than people would think.
On sherdog recently, in the Grappling Forum, a user called EpicBeardMan was eventually banned for his posts on the Lloyd Irvin Team rape case.
After the ban, it was remembered that EpicBeardMan had posted the following on a thread about rolling with women:
I guess what I’m getting at is that maybe there are fewer trolls who troll simply for the sake of trollery than we would like to think. How often do you read something that you think, ‘this must be a joke’ or ‘this can’t be serious’ ?
How often is it that the troll isn’t - in reality- trying to be funny, or push buttons for the buttons sake, or stick it to the PC types…but is truly and sincerely venting malice or hatred?
No one likes a PC-know-it-all that can’t make or take a joke. But how many people do you think you run into on sherdog and elsewhere are sincere in the abusive things they say?
Do you think the relationship of the internet to trollery can or should change? How?
