If people have some experience with internet they'll already ignore meaningless posts and trolls would interlace things that should be addressed with offensive remarks. If you produce level-headed responses to actual questions then troll would get bored just as well. This is harder than simple ignoring though. | |

In some circles the definition seems to shift from "person seeking attention" to "person with bad manners". While "real" trolls sometimes pose as persons with bad manners, not every person with bad manners is trolling. Some are just genuine assholes. | |

| Jun 9, 2016 at 13:10 | comment | added | AJ Henderson♦ | It is worth adding that while, as you mentioned, there are stories of successful "troll sniping" (out trolling them), it normally requires someone feeding them first. If they know what they are doing, their opening moves are typically pretty well rehearsed and thought out, so it's going to be hard to out wit them, but when they start responding to someone instead of controlling the dialog, it becomes much more possible to hop in when you are at an advantage. Millage certainly varies though, so not feeding in the first place is generally preferable, even if you are good at sniping. | |
