allow me to elaborate on the past observations Hv as well

I noticed that when trolls attack, they crave the attention you provide. For example, when you provide a troll with a long, explicatory response, a troll will often consider your response as serious and, hence, worthy of further trolling. As long as you give trolls attention, it is synonymous with feeding them.

However, people that do not agree with your way, or thinking, and do not attack you or your methodology, but do attack your sources of information aren't technically trolls. But you already know this. Yet, I noticed you took the troll bait in the past and engaged in heated debate.

Best way to handle troll bait IMO is to not fling the insults around, that's the whole reason for troll existence. Once you rage, you are trolled and give threads new life. Catch 22 is letting the troll know the troll is a troll, it often leads to troll ego boost, but it's up to you to decide based on complex trolling variables. As long as posts are - on-topic - then arguing, debating, discussing, or contibuting to a thread is within reason and not trollin'.

Question is, why are you being trolled!? Someone has it out for you? Disagree with your philosophies, politics, healing modalities, or antics? It's absurd that we don't have non-biased moderators running around the forums with God-like powers to shut trolls up when they are blatantly off-topic consistently.

Points to remember, stay calm and don't fight fire with fire to make the fire burn brighter. Find some way to compliment their argument and get them to validly join the discussion. The other option is to ignore them, completely, or block their constant flame wars.

You can use some http://www.csun.edu/~dgw61315/fallacies.html


But trolls don't use normal reasoning skillz. You can seem like a troll for pointing out fallacies too, it is best to use plain boring language in those scenarios.

i hope u found this post interdasting
