What is a troll?

On the Internet, a troll is a person who posts messages that create controversy or an angry response without adding content to the discussion, often intentionally, merely as a ludibrium. Though technically different from flaming, which is an unmistakable direct personal attack, trolls often resort to innuendo or misdirection in the pursuit of their objective, which is to create controversy for its own sake, discredit those with whom they disagree, or sabotage discussion by creating an intimidating atmosphere.

How do you deal with a troll?

There is some generally-accepted wisdom about dealing with Internet trolls: "Don't feed the trolls, that will only encourage them." That is, do not respond to them, that is the attention they desire. Somebody who does respond to them is likely to hear "YHBT. YHL. HAND." from other members of the group, which means "You have been trolled. You have lost. Have a nice day."

Someone in particular you are thinking of now, Miss Kittie?

I remember what we did with the last one...and she has been silent for a long time.

Ohhh, I think you know who I'm referring to And you're right about the other, Alhamdulillah! Perhaps we can add to his/her ranks before your departure lol

Not every entry that people do is meant to inflame, they may just be a little enthusiastic.
Very difficult not to respond to but try not to let your blood pressure get to high. Count to ten and start again.

There's life (but not as we know it).

lol! ! Sure you could do all the stuff you've mentioned, but there's a saying "Never careless", and that works only with some people!
Anyway dear, thank you for the long and nice speech you've made.

Ramon,

I've seen lots of trolls on boards over the years, pain in the butt sometimes but follow the above advice and never get drawn in to anything personal - easy. Trolls can soon get bored and move on thankfully.

Personal pain in the butt here is my tinternet connection (or lack of it) seems ok at this late hour but near impossible to logon during the day most of the time - sorry folks
