TROLLS
magically appear everywhere on the internet, especially in places where
they think they can hide and be anonymous. Their goal is ALWAYS to
try and be hurtful, but do not be afraid as TROLLS are truly POWERLESS!
There are ways to deal with these ugly creatures, and if you follow these
simple rules, you will help keep the TROLLS at bay!
DO NOT
FEED THE TROLLS!
If
you EVER say something back to a TROLL's comment, or acknowledge it in
any way, you have FED the TROLL!
Remember,
the TROLL is trying to provoke you. It WANTS to upset or anger you,
and will try many methods. Personal attacks, stalking, making comments
using your name, ...you name it, the TROLL will try it! If you talk
to it, it is getting just what it wants, which is ATTENTION!
Feeding
the TROLL is feeding the CANCER, and the cancer will GROW if you feed it!
You MUST completely IGNORE a TROLL, no matter what it attempts to do to
provoke you. The TROLL can be persistent and often STALKS its prey,
but will eventually lose interest if it gets no attention EVER! Truly,
TROLLS need to be SHUNNED!
You
can't talk to a TROLL when it's attacking you, you can't talk to a TROLL
when it's attacking others. Do NOT respond to anything a TROLL says
as 'Anon' or in other people's names. Each person must look after
their own attacks, others do NOT need you to come to their defense ;-)
If you see something you do not like, just move on to the neXt thing and
simply forget about it!
KEEP THE TROLL
INSIDE ITS CAGE!
If
EVERYONE follows these SIMPLE RULES, the TROLL will be rendered POWERLESS
and will be kept where it belongs. In a cage that it created for
itself, where we can look at it with amusement from afar!
Don't
let the TROLL bother you. It is an ugly & strange little creature
that has habits and instincts we mere humans can't quite understand.
Instead, focus on the REAL people you have come to know and LOVE on the
Web, for THEY are the reason we keep coming back, despite a few individuals
quest to destroy our fun.
Yes,
TROLLS SUCK, there is no denying it, but when we KNOW how to deal with
them, (and stick together, and use these rules), they are powerless, and
weak, and pathetic, and sad, (JUST the way we like them!).
A POWERLESS
TROLL IS A TROLL WE CAN LIVE WITH!
Looking
is OK, but remember, DO NOT FEED THE TROLL!!!
