What's the correct response to forum trolls or idiotic or annoying statements?

I generally practice ignoring them.

"Don't feed the trolls".

https://www.urbandictionary.com/defi...20the%20trolls

"Trolling behaviours typically include deliberately posting inflammatory comments and argumentative messages in an attempt to provoke, disrupt and upset others. “Trolls” may pretend to be part of the group, but their real intent is to create conflict for their own amusement. Shockingly, more than a quarter of Americans have admitted to engaging in trolling behaviour at some point."

"Most concerning, however, is that harassing behaviours online (such as cyberbullying and trolling) are shown to have psychological outcomes similar to those of harassment offline. These outcomes can include depression, social anxiety and low self-esteem."

I wonder how many trolls work for & are paid by bookies. Many good posters have left because of trolls.

The Sad Truths of Internet Trolls



  • Serious trolls are immune to criticism and logical arguments. True trolls cannot be reasoned with, regardless of how sound your logical argument is.
  • Serious trolls do not feel remorse like you and me. They have sociopathic tendencies, and accordingly, they delight in other people having hurt feelings.
  • Trolls, in general, consider themselves separate from the social order.
  • Trolls do not abide by etiquette or the rules of common courtesy.
  • Trolls consider themselves above social responsibility.
  • Trolls gain energy by you insulting them.
  • Trolls gain energy when you get angry.
  • The only way to deal with an online troll is to ignore him or take away his ability to post online.

"Psychological projection is a defence mechanism in which the human ego defends itself against unconscious impulses or qualities (both positive and negative) by denying their existence in themselves while attributing them to others.[1] For example, a bully may project their own feelings of vulnerability onto the target. It incorporates blame shifting and can manifest as shame dumping.[2"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychological_projection


"Ad hominem (Latin for "to the person"), short for argumentum ad hominem, is a term is applied to several different types of arguments, most of which are fallacious. Typically it refers to a fallacious argumentative strategy whereby genuine discussion of the topic at hand is avoided by instead attacking the character, motive, or other attribute of the person making the argument, or persons associated with the argument, rather than attacking the substance of the argument itself."

Ephesians 6:10-20
Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.
And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints—and for me, that utterance may be given to me, that I may open my mouth boldly to make known the mystery of the gospel, for which I am an ambassador in chains; that in it I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.

"I do not need other people for happiness.

I choose hope over fear.

Positivity is a choice that I choose to make.

I will not take other people's negativity personally.

My commitment to myself is real."






I am a diamond. It is time for me to shine.
My opinion matters.
I am a magnet for love.
Self-love is a natural state of being.
I am loved, and I am wanted.

You sound like such a happy person ; Who can argue with such sound calm headed civil reasoning ;
