Anyone can be accused of acting like a troll
now and then.Ignore them and they go away.

Seems to me a lot of people use the word "troll" for a lot of things: a person who is concocting a fake story, a person who is deliberately going out of their way to annoy, a person who is hungry (or "trolling") for attention either positive or negative, or simply a person one might happen not to agree with or think incredibly stupid.
All these demand different strategies; there is no one-size-fits-all response.

Stop feeding the Trolls!!?
Every now and then, on rare occasions, and when I feel damn well like it, I do feed the odd troll. Did it today and thoroughly enjoyed it. Why, because troll deserved a bit of contemptuous sarcasm.

I agree, Lynda. I'll feed the trolls if I want to, sometimes it's sometimes fun, deserved and satisfying. Also, the thread title here is trollish in itself, ironic. I also hate the word 'troll' as it's so overused and used as a card (like the race card)
If I was in charge of this site I would ban the friggin' word completely.
Bottom line is this, if you can't handle the 'trolls' stay out of the kitchen (hoping it's the last time I ever need to type the word 'troll')
