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.

My memory’s great, but my patience has worn thin.

I never wrote that “Terrorist extremist Muslims are representative of Muslims in general".
It would a stupid thing to write, and redundant; More your style than mine.

You're attributing comments to me me, that I never made, in an attempt to make yourself feel clever.

Given that this is now a discussion between you and your imagination, I will bow out.

Three’s a crowd.
