“Her decision to fight fire with ironic fire backfired as trolls piled in, taking her joking responses to insults out of context in an attempt to get her into trouble with her new employers. She’s not unique.”

This has planetswans all over it. The trolls of this forum even tried this technique with WarwickHunt the other day. It was pathetic to read.

This forum is unique in the sense that the ones ruining it by trolling have convinced themselves that they are not.

It’s intriguing.

Being a troll is really subjective. One man's troll is another man's comedian.

Objectively, The entire forum is swarming with trolls of all kinds and shapes, let's not single out anyone.

Before discussing how to handle trolls, take a good look at yourselves, Are you a troll? What is a troll anyway? If someone doesn't agree with you, do they automatically become trolls? Is being a troll even such a bad thing in the first place?

I say, if you're easily offended by "trolls" or whatever, just block them or quit social media all together. If you're not that bothered then troll them back.

Some good points there Omar.

However trolling trolls back ruins the forum. There are countless football threads where there is sensible discussion only for the trolls to come on and start their usual nonsense. By replying to them on the same manner it ends up with 7 pages of utter dross - and of course the predictable scenario of them then trying to paint you as the troll before they scuttle off only to do it again the very next day.

But it is my firm belief that posting in the manner someone is posting to you is absolutely the way to go. That means your posts are always a retaliation and you can simply beat them with intellect and stamina. Something these trolls lack.

The odd thing about trolls is that they mostly don’t realise that they’re trolls. It’s a conundrum.

Oh they know full well they are trolls. They just tend to be quite devious characters and can be very deflectionary about it.

I dint think they do in some cases. There are some on here who are clearly trolling most of the time but they wouldn’t recognise that in a million years. The self awareness is not strong.

Possibly some who inadvertently slip into trolling when defending/debating a point?
