Hey Urlbots!

Last week's "Internet Firsts," a weekly series that highlights your funny, embarrassing or otherwise interesting first internet experiences, led to some great stories about online video.

Here's this week's topic:

Tell us about the first time you got trolled.

Has anyone said anything nasty to you in a comments section or an email that sticks out in your mind? Why would a stranger say such a thing? This character is way outta line! These days it's hard to say a word online without somebody calling you a nazi or a sheep. But was the internet always so hostile? Tell us some funny, shocking or interesting stories!

Post your answer here in the comments, or send it over in an email to firsts@urlesque.com. We'll pick the best answers and post at the end of the week.

My most humiliating and perplexing experience on the web was a couple of years ago. A woman who called herself "Brooke" was going from board to board that I frequented and saying negative things to me. I really took notice when she told me she "had a file on me". Uummm who in the heck keeps a file on a complete stranger and why? After that I stopped posting anything anywhere on the web. This one was a real sick person.

My first trolling came from one of those damn fake games that make you stare at your screen for a minute and suddenly flash a screaming head at you. Scared the crap out of me.

I got trolled for four months by a Youtube "Love" troll. She sent me PM's on the site until she got my MSN. Then it was everyday trolling me, trying to get responses by "breaking up" with me whenever she could, then coming back. She also found my best friend's name and dumped me for him. Turns out this 'English' girl was actually Belgian, and then she committed fake "Internet" suicide. I would say watch out for people on Youtube. Most are liars that wanna hurt you in subtle ways. If it sounds too good than it probably is. Don't get suckered in like me!! I then had to spend over 100 dollars to get her personal information so I could spread it around the net.
