[QUOTE="soberups, post: 513864, member: 14668"] Try to remember that trolls and Internet Commandos can only thrive in an enviornment where their posts are [I]responded[/I] to in the first place. They are unable or unwilling to engage in open and honest debate, or to contribute new ideas....so instead they issue personal insults, resort to threats, and make crude sexual innuendos. They also criticize other people's spelling and typographical errors. To confront the troll or attempt to beat him at his own game is a waste of time and energy; by doing so, one simply feeds the troll that which he so desperately seeking in the first place. A good mental excercise is to eliminate the word "you" from your posts whenever possible. Address the post itself,[I] not[/I] the poster. Take the high road and stay out of the mud pit. Remember that if only [I]one[/I] person participates in a pissing match, that means its just a guy making a mess all over himself while everyone else stands around and watches [/QUOTE]
