Though to be fair, trolling has its place and can be fun. I suppose it just depends on the place and method.

What is trolling? I've done it while fishing, but I've never fished using a computer for bait.

People have arguments & disagreements in real life every day. If they didn't, there would be no war, only peace.

Sorry, couldn't resist that one.

But really, I don't understand the need to make arguing or disagreeing with someone online be some big deal that we all have to freak out about and label the purveyor as some sort of under-bridge dweller that tries to make you pay to get back to the castle.

The internet is weird.

I would congratulate my 4 & 5 year old children for being able to spell so well and to be able to write a coherent sentence/paragraph. After that, I would teach them to be more civilized.

If it was my 18 month old, I'd call up Good Morning America and get her on that show so that she could show off her skills!

If he's just being annoying, I'd tell him to knock it off and leave it at that. If he's out to say hurtful things, we would talk about how to behave towards other people.

Well, I just can't see this happening:
1) the computers are all in the family room where everyone can see what you're doing
2) my kids just want to play the games, not taunt and belittle people

Kids play games without taunting or belittling each other? Where? Which games?
