Olivianna's Guide to Dealing with Trolls!

[Olivianna]

If a troll's bothering you, turn off your computer, go for a walk, talk to your family/friends. Realize that people deal with crap like this all of the time - not enough food to feed their kids, disease, death, depression, violence, ad nauseam. And your troll problem is appropriate to be plastered all over the GB?

Finally, another thing to consider: Not everyone is going to like you. Now let's consider this chunk of wisdome in detail. First of all, "you" isn't really You, is it? What does a troll necessarily know about you? Recognize that people who want to hurt others are really most interested in hurting themselves. Second, why would you want everyone to like you? Really think about that one.

The trolls are here to stay. That is a problem that one must contend with if one is going to be a social human being. How are you going to play? Will you respond to their need for conflict, or walk on by?

Please, get a life.

No. Absolutely not. I did that once before and it made me cranky.

Brilliant. Worth repeating (and bumping). Everybody, remember this thread and bump it as needed.

I have a life. It's a very interesting one, too. So interesting, in fact, that I'd much rather watch it on TV than live it.

1. When in doubt, attack.

Trolls are just terrified people with highly exploitable weaknesses hiding behind a facade of power.

Angel, you look absolutely beautiful this morning.

That's my philosophy for anything upsetting at Lit. It's a great net board, but it's just a net board. Not worth anguish.

So wise...

And you are exactly right.

Does this pertain to cave trolls or garden trolls?

 

[TWB]

Trolls should be coddled, and cuddled and loved.























I am watching too much barney.

I agree with the Pee freak and while I have not been complimented by having my very own troll........ it seems to me that if someone thinks so highly of the ground that you walk on and so despicably of their lot in life that they have to bring you down to their level that it is a compliment.

It happens every day at work, your kids soccer game, the bar comming from the table next to you, etc., etc., etc. It is very easy to get around, you ignore it, ya don't change your settings to hide it you just don't address it. The simple minded, low self esteemed, while it takes longer, eventually come to the conclusion that it is no fun to play alone.

Everyone has skeletons and everyone over the age of 10 has been embarrassed by said skeletons at some time or another and survived. Hell Marv Albert wears panties and he survived. He survived by keeping his mouth shut and mentally bucking it up and he is back at the mic on national TV. His trolls failed.

As more than one very astute poster has said, if a troll runs you out of anyplace, it's your fault.

Enough rambling for me and it's back to work. Sorry to be such a boor it's just that I kinda like the pee freak and if panties are good enough for Marv, they're good enough for me.

Hey......maybe that's a new sig line

 

[brokenbrainwave]

I can only dream of owning my own troll.

 

[Private Vasquez]

For just $85...

You too can own your own.

 

[Olivianna]

Does this pertain to cave trolls or garden trolls?

No, that is a completely different issue. Garden trolls are good helpers in the kitchen, and cave trolls are holders of esoteric wisdom. Unlike Web Trolls, these can be very useful.

I know. You have a strategy that works for you. It seems that you're not going to let trolls run you out of here or upset you a great deal (maybe I'm wrong - I don't know). I'm trying to offer some advice for those people who find the matter just too overwhelming, who aren't in a position to throw it back at the troll.

[Spinaroonie]

I wish there were better trolls here.

I'm gonna post some good troll materials.

 

[Dixon Carter Lee]

There are no trolls. Trolls are only trolls if they're effective. They're not. There are no trolls.

Ignore people who use smilies instead.

Marv Albert wears panties?

This is also my opinion on this matter.

It is really only those who've endured vicious trolling that should have feelings on the matter. Try being trolled for a whole fucking year or more, every fucking time you post something and see if you can stand coming here. Your log off idea isn't a bad one. It is idea that if you return it won't matter that you logged off. You are fucking riddled by the shit 24/7. It is annoying, distracting, hurtful, abusive and WRONG. Tolerating it by ignoring it is a good thing.... for those of you who haven't ever dealt with a real trolling.

Being told by an Unregistered three times saying that you are a fat, ugly piece of shit is NOT A TROLLING.

It is when you have not posted in over two months without the same person harassing you constantly that you've been trolled.

So yeah, some people whine too much about a few comments. So fucking what? Ignore them?

Seriously, Would you tolerate it if every fucking time you opened your mouth at work, some shithead spouted... "Shut up you fat fucking whore", "The world would be better if you were dead" and so on?


I think not.

Give me an everlovin fucking break. This shit is NOT a normal part of life. This shit is the reason God invented restraining orders.

You can't just talk a walk in the park to get rid of a stalker. I actually reccomend that you don't.

So, by your guidlines, Olivianna, everyone who has ever been seriously trolled should just stop coming to the BB all together then? Cause if you don't, I can't see how you could avoid the occaisional return comment to the bastard.

Look, those of you who are untouched by the pestulence of a real trolling can take your opinions of how to deal with trolls and shove it up your ass.

Let the rest of us deal with shit the way we want and need to. Each situation is different, and ignoring things doesn't do shit for fixing what is wrong.

Some people need to be put in mental hospitals.

Have a nice day.

For all that you do with the trolls for others... I wuv you.

You are a good fish.
