So what you're saying is that she made the right decision. She found a community that supported abuse (by ignoring it) and she left that community. Everyone should do so. But think for a moment what happens when people DO pile on a troll. The troll gets what it wants: Attention. The best way to deal with trolls is to ignore them. They die from lack of attention. But beyond that, if the entire community attacks a troll, 1 person at a time, it turns into a very hostile community. By the time the troll has had enough, everyone is very angry and the forums are very ugly. Instead, the moderators should be handling it. That's their job. If a moderator handles it, the troll ends up going away fairly quietly, without much attention. They don't get what they want, and the community doesn't have to turn ugly. And nobody should have to alert a moderator. They should be patrolling. Again, their job. So if you want to blame anyone for this, blame the moderators. They were the only solution to the problem, and they failed.
