I don't use jokes in debates, ever; my serious opinion is that some formal shunning strategy is at least worth considering if trolling incidents increase. I meant that for an abbreviation of the concept, not a mockery of it. My question on that issue of the "don't feed the trolls" method, however expressed, is whether it's worth the frustration of telling yourself to keep quiet. I don't want to be attacked or to get angry, but once the attack and the anger exist, I feel worse if I can't do anything to react to it. I also see how a response in anger feeds into the aggravation that a troll intends to create, so I am debating with myself what would be my best response if something like that happens again. Please forgive me if you feel like this was an inappropriate response to what I read as your opinions on the same subjects. I have also never posted on someone's private journal with the intent to distress or annoy anyone. Would you like me to remove my comments?
