He Said She Said: The online trolling experience that saw Ben Fordham step back from Twitter

These days, you'd be hard-pressed to find someone who hasn't been the subject of online trolling, and that's pretty sad.

Recent research by Amnesty International has found one-in-three Australians have been victims of online trolling, and while this statistic didn't surprise He Said She Said's Shelly Horton and Ben Fordham, what did leave Fordham reeling was the fact most online trolls are men.

In the new episode of He Said, She Said, Horton told the radio host according to the research "99.9 percent comes from men."

This isn't to say women don't troll, but they tend to be less aggressive in what they say.

Still, the impact of trolling, regardless of the source, can be long-lasting, with some victims modifying their online behaviour as a way to shield themselves from the vicious practice.

Even Fordham has been subjected to online trolling, and while he accepts it comes with his job in which he is "paid to have an opinion", even he has changed his online behaviour as a way of avoiding interactions with trolls.
