Trolls are not ignored here on HN. They tend to get told off in replies by a moderator or other person, their comments get flagged, and they may be banned. I think it’s better than just hoping everyone will ignore trolls.
Importantly, it may be fine for you to ignore trolls but not for moderators and Scott is the moderator of his blog’s comments.
- TameAntelope 4y agoIt is by far the best option for someone as easily triggered as the author to ignore trolls entirely, as his own article suggests. The narcissistic tendencies he’s indulged here are toxic as hell, both to him and to whatever community he’s trying to foster in his comments, far more damaging than any troll might be. Just let it go! This is so damaging to the fabric of your community, you’re literally killing the very thing you want to support by not just letting it go. Write no more of it, think no more of it, just move on.
