How about instead "ganging up" on them and "calling them out?" Yes, I understand that that would require a coordinated effort, but...
Regards,
Excellent!
Does this mean we can ignore Humblegunner’s diatribes against most all vanity and blog posts? ... Asking for a friend, of course.
;-)
My natural response is call them out. I don’t want the lie to stand. If you are right - deny them attention
“ Yes, I understand that that would require a coordinated effort,”
Ignoring them would also require coordination.
It's an idiotic position to have. Why do you care about 'blog hits'? Just enjoy the information, however you get it.
And is that all he trolls? Blog pimps? You aren't paying attention. You are aiding and abetting terrorists.
Not to worry, though. That's what you guys got me for.

Good idea. But it’s hard to ignore these bastards.
I “block” them on other social media. Sometimes they change identities and come back and I block them again.
I hate those bastards.
But you left out the other type. Those who go on social media, not for psychological need, but to steer opinion and thought like it's their job. And sometimes it is.
That's not the definition of 'troll', but something else. 'Shill' is one word for it. They do exist and they are here.
And they need exposing and punishment.

I just block -> report spam and move on. Anything else is time-inefficient.
But its so important to win arguments on the internet!

Go on about your life, secure in the knowledge that you have many fulfilling things to occupy your time and energies.
Smile at the thought of the troll, poised to spew their venom, deriving some sick pleasure from it. Yet denied the opportunity by your indifference. In fact the troll is further insulted by your utter disregard of their provocations - their thoughts and opinions mean so little to you that you cannot be bothered to respond and engage.
It is actually a little sad, yet satisfying and funny to think of their frustration.
That’s not an argument that is just contradiction.
Troll!

Counterpoint: there are thousands of good blog posts out there. I don’t look for them out there. I look for content here, on FR.
I am glad to see the content.
FR doesn’t make or lose revenue from these posts, to my understanding, so what’s the rub, really?
I welcome your thoughts.
Great post! I would send this to some of who I think are guilty parties, but I don’t remember their screen names.
Some have a DO NOT RESPOND list. I try to remember who not to reply to. Sometimes I forget, sometimes I don’t. But, they are out there. Sad lives to be snarky, berating, rude. Sorta leads folks to the answer to: “Can’t we all just get along?”
