Internet Trolls

It is a waste of time responding to Internet trolls.

it seems to happen often, just do your best to not give them the attention they crave

Trolls are everywhere. People need to find a new hobby!

I participate in a number of specialized forums and although I have heated arguments on certain topics, surprisingly I have been fortunate to get to the point of personalized attacks. We have been able to keep on topic.

That's good.  People should be able to discuss and have different view points without having to resort to putting the other person down.  Don't ya think?

I see people resort to personal attacks all the time on Facebook because they don't have a real argument. I expect that from teenagers but these are usually older people. I've never felt the need to resort to insulting a person's looks,job, education, etc because I don't have a valid argument but I see it so often

I don't see it too much on facebook.  On facebook people know who you are.  I see it on forums where you are anonymous.

 

I wouldn't waste my time arguing with someone who sits on a computer and do those things. Do not let them steal your joy.

You are correct.  But it is hard to ignore personal attacks.  But you are 100% correct.

This is almost everyday on facebook.

I have and I never take it seriously. People hide behind the computer and become jerks, they would never say it to your face.

Because no one knows who they really are they say things they would not say in person.  I don't get it.  Just ignore if you don't like what they are saying.  It is just an opinion.   What cracks me us is when they give their opinion on things that they have all incorrect facts on.

It is harder to ignore someone when they launch a personal attack on you.  One of the things that gets me is like lately the gays wanting to scream their agenda and shove it down everyone's throat but if a Christian simply says they do not agree they are called names and the gays try to get their businesses shut down.  I have about decided to build a 20 foot wall around my property and shut this crazy insane world out of it.
