Trolls are strong and independent, wouldn't 'Squeakers' be a better title for Cyber Trolls? And wouldn't 'Traffic Tantrum' be a more accurate description than 'Road Rage'?

I don't see how being called a "Troll" could possibly be flattering. Yes trolls are strong but they are not independent by choice. In most folklore trolls are stinky, smelly, retched beasts with awful tempers who would rather steal and plunder as to earning anything it obtains. Seriously, have you ever seen images of trolls before? If not check these out, http://fan.theonering.net/art/gallery/large/1290

As for "Road Rage" I think it fits. Once again being in a rage is nothing to be proud of.
Excerpt from Webster Dictionary:
rage: n. 1. violent anger; fury 2. extreme violence; intensity --v.i. 1. be furious with anger 2. storm 3. have furious course or effect

Too computer illiterate to know what a Cyber Troll is although are you sure it doesn't refer to a method of fishing? As for rage versus tantrum, a tantrum is usually just a public display of childish (stupid?) behaviour while rage involves physical violence. Since road rage often involves vehicular battery and/or shooting, road rage may be the better term although it is childish and stupid.
There are too many people and over half of them have one or more cars. Of these, half are terrified of driving and too thick to take public transit. This leaves the morons who think they are important and must be first to cope and they are mentally stuck at age 5.
