Nobody seems to learn this, but when you post a n y t h i n g in objection to trolls, it's like throwing bread chunks at ducks. That's their whole point, that's what they LIVE for.
Look back at some of the threads where nobody's responded----what do you see? It stops dead in its tracks.
Yeah, just don't respond to posts that are clearly made by a person/people with too much time on their hands. I mean, come on, there's gotta be a better way to pass the time. I know I'd much rather be doing other stuff.
When a troll responds to one of my posts I'll throw back what they said with a little extra. It usually works. But most of the time I just consider the source. It's also easy to ignore the posts that have grammar and spelling so bad I can't read them.

Actually it doesnt work. And good job stupid on feeding them.
"A forum troll is someone who actively watches a forum. He starts quarrels or tries to upset people on the Internet to distract and sow discord by posting inflammatory and digressive, extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community with the intent of provoking readers into displaying emotional responses and normalizing tangential discussion, whether for the troll's amusement or a specific gain."
Trolls don't have any interest in reading our meaningful replies. One reason being is that they completely lack any reading comprehension, and the second one, that they have no idea what are we talking about in these threads, because they don't work in our environment.
They may be mentally sick. Only psychopaths enjoy upsetting and insulting other people. They come here to compensate for every "injustice" that life dealt them. Maybe they can't afford video games or Netflix, they don't have a family or friends to pass their free time with.

I tend to think of it as overfeeding. We've all accidentally overfed ourselves and gotten sick at one point in our lives. That's the little extra I give.
