      How do you deal with trolls?

      Hey guys, I know most of you know about internet trolls. How do you deal with them? I don't know how to, Sometimes I just let them get to me and I get really mad about them. How can you deal with them? Should I just ignore them? Sometimes its hard to ignore them when they really push you to the limit.

      No, don't ignore.

      Don't get mad.

      Just laugh.

      Whatever they are saying is ruined by counter-trolling. Whatever they say, no matter what it is, just agree and play with it. Laugh.

      Most of the time, you can end up laughing with them. Otherwise, they might just get upset that you are not getting upset. Thus, you expose their own vulnerabilities; emotional control over others and them self.

      Just laugh.

      (eg. "Yeah I love puppet sex and my moms boobs, lolololz noob")

      Yeah I agree with you. I've been to Yahoo! Answers and I just recently quit them. So many trolls there too many people insult others. I've also been to other forums and got bashed by trolls. I'll try to ignore them.

      Well that's just a bad website. Most supposed trolling is actually very stupid people being serious.

      Yeah I know. I mostly get yelled at all the time there for no reason. They are too strict. Mostly its the the questions that get asked by trolls get the most answers. Trolls don't deserve to use the internet at all.

      Lately, I have been congratulating each troll for being that guy who invented trolling. Then I tell him how original he is for coming up with the art. From that point, I just mock and say stuff that is even more outrageous than what he is saying.

      Another good thing to do is act like you genuinely for real think he said something funny. If you do that, you have congratulated him on his ability to do his thing and he loses a lot of the desire to screw with you. It's hard to work to give somebody negative emotions if he just said something that made you feel so good.
      How do you know you are not dreaming right now?
