I've been on this board for a few months and made a few friends but more enemies than I can count. It seems someone always wants to pop off at the mouth (or anger type if you will).
It seems a lot people here feel the need to attack others. Every week it's someone new and someone else trying to make a name for themselves. Personally I have no problem dealing with them but on these forums you get in trouble for defending yourself. It's a losing battle as it seems.
So, my question how do you deal with your personal trolls.

When you do, you just give them what they want. Things would be much nicer around here if everyone could remember that. On a somewhat related note. I've always wondered, if you can't feed Gizmo after midnight, when can you feed him? It's always after midnight.

Depends on what you define as trolling. I got banhammered from another forum for pointing out to a mod that the argument "corporations are evil" is the exact same argument as "guns kill people" because in both cases you are ascribing a moral stance to an inanimate argument. I argued that the people behind the corporation may be evil the same way the person holding the gun might kill someone. The mod replied by simply saying that they're not the same and that was the final word. When I asked why they were the same, I was banned for trolling. So it really depends.

Report them, and don't reply. That's it. Ignore them long enough and they generally get bored.

sometimes, it is best to type out your response and re-read it a few times. try to see if anyone can take a shot at you from what you posted. if you think someone is gonna say something, just dont post.
alot of people bring things onto them selves for poorly thought out responses that are really just bait for trolls.

The little red report button is your best friend (and probably TRW's nightmare). After my previous stint here Ive learned not to worry about what other people say. If its against the TOS, I just click the "report post" button and let the Admins deal with it. They might hate me by now for the stuff Ive reported but at least its to their attention.

Dude, I have actually been here for nearly a decade (I left in 2009 and came back) If I worried about every person who thought ill about me or quoted me on something I said I would have over a million posts and probable a warning bar. But I don't reply to people who aren't sensible. Just ignore them if they PM you. Delete it. I find it funny actually, I love when people blow up over a comment I made. Vince McMahon once said "any press is good press" so just don't worry over it. We're all kinda friends that make up a wrestling community, so it's all good man.

That sounds a little bit like trolling to me. I hate the whole "guns don't kill people" crap. Guns make it easier for people to kill. That's what they're created to do. "Ascribing a moral stance to an inanimate argument"? What does that even mean? It's tough on the Internet because fights break out over anything and everything. One man's troll is another man's treasure. The lack of civility is pretty crummy, but being anonymous behind a computer screen seems to attract inner ugliness from many users.
