You can’t win against trolls

It’s not uncommon to end up in a verbal insult match in a chat


room. Some people, called ‘trolls’, are just there to provoke, and

they have nothing better to do than insult you till you leave.

The best way to handle trolls is to completely ignore them. It

may seem tempting to come back with a smart reply that you are

sure will shut them up once and for all, but it never works. They are

chat room veterans, and are guaranteed to have a razor sharp

comeback for everything before you have started to type your next

line. Ignore them, and leave them to die in their virtual world.
