How To Defeat A Troll. by purples25(f): 11:39pm On Jul 12, 2021
Replying them is the biggest mistake you will ever make. That's their field of expertise, you step into it, they kill you.

The troll lives for and through attention from you. He or she lives on your pain, when you reply with anger, sadness, begging, or pain, the troll is eating it up. The more you reply, the stronger the troll gets. You are feeding it.

How To Defeat the Troll:
-Never reply, it will shrink up and dry up. It will become weaker and weaker until it dies.

-Become a troll hunter... Master the art of attacking/hunting them silently. As you ignore them, they will soon start saying worse and worse things, and creating new monikers to do it. You must allow the troll to reach this peak first. Then you strike: use their own words to get them banned. Also, you must perfect the art of enjoying the banning experience. Make it one of your hobbies when online. Say nothing, just take the trolls as your 'ban babies'. Anytime you are bored online, go to their abusive posts, get them banned. It's like waiting for a crop to get harvested and then you pick and enjoy.

Remember, to really kill an internet troll... Is to never answer that troll. Always look for an authority of some sort that can silence them. Attention and your misery Is their food. They are sadists.

I differ to agree with you @OP....in my opinion if you have a Troll on you then you need not worry just turn the tables by posting table shaking comments.

If you are gifted in insults right? wink

Those guys are tireless and very good at saying what hits your soul... Unless you can go on forever like them, my option is available.

But if you got a gifted mouth, OMo, carry go! cheesy

You don't need to resort to insults just comment with table shaking words like if a troll abuses your looks then reply with get a life or if S/He has a pics then munch and type spot the missing piece! Simple.

Good contribution @ seniorwriter. Let others learn from our suggestions. I actually posted this cuz I'm feeling for someone, but I don't want their trolls to come at me if I defend that person. Hope she sees this thread.

Extremely perfect!

Trolls are low IQ and emotionally invested in their stale opinions. They lack the intellect to counter whatever you said with a worthy reply, instead they skew ad hominem or gaslight you. And if you don't understand the nature of the game---social dominance, you will always fall for their antics. The worst is that they have hordes of same type like them and when you spit on their stupidity they march after you vehemently.

Silence or ignoring them is the first recourse and the best. Except in dire circumstances do you reply them by making a caricature of their statements and using it against them.

The only time again you should be entertaining trolls is if you're attempting to educate other readers, if not, the silent treatment always remain the best.

Thanks for such a wonderful write-up.
