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.

Once again, you are mischaracterizing what is in the thread.

This is growing tiresome.

"But you also made some wholly unsubstantiated claim that transgenderism -is- the cause of fact one (a high incidence of suicide)."

Where did I make this claim? It's certainly not in the thread.

Please post a link.

I don't believe I ever made this claim.
