...while you advocate speaking to trolls in a respectful manner...

Whoa bro. Overreact much, you do.

That's not what I said, this is:

If obviously a provocation [troll], or you don't have the time/patience at the time, simply ignore them and go do something else.

Complete post:


Certainly FR has its share of DS trolls, as most social media sites do. But IMO, the majority of so-called 'trolls' on FR are looking to debate, whether for fun or actually looking learn if the Q phenomenon is a good thing or a bad thing.

If one has the time, simply explain, as best you can, what you know in a respectful manner. Doing this enlightens other readers as well, and is far more effective than deriding someone, even a troll, for asking what may seem a staged question to those knowledgeable of Q.

If obviously a provocation, or you don't have the time/patience at the time, simply ignore them and go do something else.

Some, especially those who keep coming back, have apparently had their egos bruised/offended, and desperate for revenge.

Arguing/debating these folks is a total waste of time. They're not changing their mind, no matter what you say, you're just helping to spawn derision which leads to division, which is exactly where the DS wants us - divided.

This is a good place to mention a technique to divide a group is placing agent provocateurs (if you will) on both sides to create and nurture division.

Recall good advice from Q:

Together we are strong.

They want us divided.

See, this is where you go sideways, goodman.

The majority of trolls (not "so-called" trolls) come to ridicule, debunk, insult, and even to create reactions so that they can get all Q discussion removed from FR. How do I know this? They have said it.

This isn't rocket science. The world "troll" has meaning. Those others you are describing aren't trolls, and its USUALLY easy to spot the difference. though I have seen some overreactions (including my own) over time.

But, generally speaking, I think our experience on this thread (and the internet) allows us to recognize the difference between a troll and a "seeker of knowledge" when we see one.

So, yea. I don't think I overreacted at all. We have a fundamental disagreement.
