To feed or not to feed trolls?

Posted on 05/27/2014 6:18:14 PM PDT by nomad

Have you ever followed a link to the source article and found a dedicated troll attempting to disrupt the thread? My suggestion is this, ask the respondents to please refrain from commenting back. If you ignore the progressive anus, they tend to go away so as I like to post just beneath the spouting rectum`s written diarrhea: DON`T FEED THE TROLLS. Maybe some will get the hint!

If nothing else, trolls are usually good for some comedic relief. That is, until the SAPPs start chiming in and ruin everything.

You are implying that honest disagreement and trolling amount to the same thing. Actually, speaking as a semi-troll, I think that there are thousands of trolls who have never heard of FR.

Lucky you. I signed up at DU (to block them back when they were hijacking FR screen names and posting nasty crap on DU with FR screen names) went over there, posted a bit, made no secret of my FR affiliation, and not only didn’t they ban me, they seemed to like me.

Huh?

Study the difference between an advocate and a zealot. Then, determine who to shoot...

Problem solved.

Meh. I get flamed once in a while on here. I ignore most of the time.

No, here, a true troll gets the Viking Kitty treatment. I`m talking Breitbart or the sites Drudge links to. They seem to be scurrying about lately, maybe in response to the beating they`re expecting in November. Pity that`ll be at the hands of RINOs.

I got banned so many times it got tiresome coming up with new names and disposable email accounts.

Sure, rub it in. It’s not like I don’t already feel so dirty...

Ah.
Now I see.

But now I have bizarre math equations that make no sense in my head.

That would be me. I can't hold a thought long enough anymore to be considered active.

The more they post, the more they get paid by OFA, so I don’t think it matters, they will find any post that triggers the OFA response system and then spam and insult anyone who doesn’t agree with them.
