On left wing sites, it is easy to become a “troll”, or at least completely hijack any thread. All ya gotta do is somehow regardless of what the topic of the thread is, somehow bring Sarah Palin’s name into it. No matter the topic, the entire conversation becomes about Sarah Palin every single time without exception.

My favorite response is to simply post below their most current response, DON`T FEED THE TROLLS. It has helped to slow or reduce responses, and even eliminate them, thereby chasing away less dedicated trolls.

Yelling troll back and forth is a troll tactic. In fact calling a troll a troll is feeding the troll.
Worrying that a troll is ruining the thread is also feeding the troll because part of what they are trying to do is get into your head.

Absolutely nothing going on here at the moment.

I`m not actually trying to communicate with the troll in question but with any potential respondents who just finished reading that trolls response.

Question? As disgusting as “progressive” trolls are, wouldn’t those you are talking about be more aptly called a Borg? They are part of one collective mind- they have not one original thought or idea between them. They lack most, if not all human ethics and virtues. They are arrogant and witless enough to state dogma that boils down to-All resistance is futile! You will be absorbed!
And so on... They are mindless drones that cannot function without explicit directions. At least trolls can function on their own.

It`s just getting so bad lately, gotta be the upcoming elections and their knowledge that they`re gonna get the snot beat out of them. Pity RINOs will be the ones winning!

without trolls, all we are is a cheering section. True, and once in a blue moon they can give us a useful perspective on an issue. It is helpful to know your enemy.

In Russia you don’t say “Your mother wears army boots.”

Because she does.

And she will hurt you.

"Trolls can be identified by the fact that they wear nothing but a green paper plate over their genitals and a red plastic cup on their head." "Sounds like fun! I like twolls - but can I use a pink paper pwate?"
