Don't feed the Trolls really is good advice – here's the evidence

quote [ A new study suggests that the pleasure of getting an angry reaction is the biggest predictor of online trolling behavior – meaning that the best way to fight back is just to ignore them. ]

We've had more Trolling than usual over the last few months and wanted to just toss out a post to remind everyone Trolls aren't looking to engage or debate or have an intellectual arguments - they just want a response. Not giving it them (mod and ignore) is the best way to respond online.

And if any of the trolls claim they are looking for a real debate, they aren't. They "debate" until there is a point when there is no rebuttal (aka evidence/facts) and then disappear. Reappearing anew to flame on again. There are normal people here looking for some good, interesting debates and conversations - no need to engage with the intellectually dishonest.

If you recognize your worldview in my description, I'm not sure what I can do to help you.

If conversely, you feel that your views are not fragile, and that you are robust enough to engage opposing views, then the proof is in your conduct.

I will always engage when I post on this site.

Irrespective of any of this, the record on this site for blindly down-moding non-pc thought is on display everyday - As is he use of the term "troll", for those who don't adhere to the general views of the group - That's my point, and it is highly relevant to the post under consideration.
