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.

Although I think there are many comments of mine on this site that serve as object sessions, that's not a very good answer. But any idea I include here now will, understandably, involve some back and forth as to whether it proves my point or not. The exercise is one that I would enjoy - but would take time I don not have presently. Simply trying to keep up with the narrow confines of this conversation today has been more than I could afford. I know that over the next several days I cannot put the time into mooting a case study properly.

That said, you may find, out of the blue, I post back in this thread, with one or a couple of examples, and we can kick the tires on my contention then.
