People regularly say a troll would never make these comments to a person’s face, but Guardian columnist Owen Jones decided to put this theory to the test.
Arranging to go for a pint with a man who he had previously blocked on Twitter, he said:
"He tweeted me over, maybe, two or three years, and he called me – amongst other things – a racist, a homophobe, and a few other snarks thrown in for good measure."
So how did things pan out when they met in real life?
The reaction might surprise you.
