It's realpolitik my friend, if you don't engage trolls you can't be bitten by them.
- lotsofmangos 12y agoI thought it was all about the noopolitic these days.
- opendais 12y agoI guess. I just don't like the idea of cowering in fear because trolls will be trolls.
- fleitz 12y agoNo no, don't cower in fear, change tactics.
- opendais 12y agoTo what? Pointing out a troll's hypocritical behavior seems to be the only one that is effective with both trolls and rational people.
- fleitz 12y agoI have no idea because I have no idea what your objective is... Which eludes to my original point of why one would engage with them... what did he hope to accomplish?
- opendais 12y ago> I have no idea because I have no idea what your objective is... I'd like to see equal, proportional response regardless of gender or the size of your soapbox. > Which eludes to my original point of why one would engage with them... what did he hope to accomplish? You'd have to ask him that :/
- baddox 12y agoNot if the troll's entire audience doesn't care if (or won't accept that) their troll leader is hypocritical.
- eqdw 12y agoThis doesn't work. It gives the troll and their followers more fodder to troll about. The only winning move is not to play. Completely ignoring them.
