I've never done in any trolling in my time but I have spammed stuff like video game boards just for fun. The truth is if you don't respond and if you COMPLETLY ignore them, (Don't even quote their post, pretend like it isn't even there) it makes it no fun for them.
hi
i'm probably what you call a troll
severe personality issues that stop me from gaining what i need from social contact face to face..
so i post here and there..
slightest hint of rejection and i withdraw completely
whats the harm in humouring a troll
or even offering some help for whatever compeled them to "troll"
even on a fringe theory..
they may be looking around for help without admitting anything, posting their piece of mind to test the water.
if you dont even ackknowledge them... you may be confirming someones negative thought spiral.. and i think we all know where that leads.

I don't think you are a troll. I think your definition of a troll is different to what this thread is referring to. Troll in the context of this thread and Web forums/newsgroups is somebody who is being disruptive to the forum/group. I don't want to go into the details, but some trolls here were posting objectionable stuff and attacking people. This is meant to be a support group and some people here can be quite fragile when it comes how people react to them, so its important these places are supportive environment.
Anyway lets stop this talk about trolls.
