Let's try something new...

[DanC]

Every time some troll comes in with some disparaging remark - (no fingers being pointed here) Let's just say someone from Mars says they're superior because their skin is green and they speak Martian better than we do - or some crap. IGNORE IT! - NO REPLIES.

Nothing. How's that sound for a strategy?

<< Act like it's the little annoying brat down the street >>

...

Somehow, that statement and Paulson are meant for each other















Just kidding Paulson....I told you earlier how proud I am of your RC5 and recruiting effort

 

[LANMAN]

That sounds like a GREAT idea!!

[Wolfie]

sounds like a great idea. The problem is. We all know someone will answer anyways.

Incumbent upon those that agree to remind others that we don't respond to trolls... no?

 

[SSP]

Kay fine. I won't say a thing.

[DanC]

DanToo, What thread are you responding to?

 

[RaySun2Be]

Sounds good to me. Let's think before replying. It's easy to get caught up and want to respond immediately to a troll post. DanC is correct as usual, we should just ignore them. A troll is looking to start turmoil, cause problems.

Ignoring them takes away their fun.

Sign me up! If they really are from Mars, the SETI crew might want to talk to them, however...

 

[Engineer]

I agree Ray (*ignoring DanC and not posting his name as if he were the troll*)...

 

[DanC]

Engineer... ROTFLMAO

[JWMiddleton]

Hmmm...I think you've got something there.

 

[CurtOien]

When I first got on the internet I quickly realized how easy it is to missunderstand someones intent.
I like to give them the benefit of the doubt and think the things said are meant in fun.
If they are truely a troll, I still laugh at it and choose not to respond.

 

[CurtOien]

Oops! My 1st double post.

 

[dkappos]

I am from Mars!!!

We are superior because our skin is green!!!

We also speak Martian better than you do!!!

crap crap crap crap











































Just testing to see if it works

DanC - Sounds like my general advice I usually give out so I'm 100% for it.

My two rules:

1) Assume that the post is not meant to be a troll
2) If, after reflection, you decide it was a troll, ignore it

Good idea.
