Anti-troll 101
Friday, January 24, 2003 by Angel_Wings | Discussion: WinCustomize Talk
Dear members:
These are not cyber-war tactics (
)…these are just common sense/courtesy/decency type tactics that if properly deployed could do this forum a world of good:
When a troll starts a thread:
IGNORE IT. Don’t respond…it just PERPETUATES the thread no matter how good your intentions because you bring the ‘troll’ thread back up where it certainly doesn’t belong.
REPORT it: Rather than responding you can right click on the ‘mother thread’ link and save the link and forward it to an Administrator whom can remove the link if it’s repugnant or rude etc.
REMEMBER: A troll wants attention…ignore him…and he leaves…keep giving him a trail of crumbs and he’ll follow.
Follow?

Angel_Wings often writes up angry replies on her 'Word' scratchboard to get her 'angry feelings' out and then takes a few breathers and is glad she didn't spew.

Kosati: "I try to practice the teachings of Anti-troll 101 ........... I sometimes type out what I would like to say, and hit the Return to Message Board.... "
*sighs* I can't count the number of times I've done that same thing. Typed out long winded messages of what I really /want/ to say - but then I remember certain things, and just move on.

Ignore the Troll has been suggested many times before. Seems like not ignoring the thread must be some male confrontational thing. You know, strike up the band and go to war. Once someone starts, it's a feeding frenzy.
kthxbye

I always thought (and yes, I admit to being guilty of it myself!) that part of it could be that it's far easier to /not/ ignore the troll online than it is to ignore him/her/it too.

Rules Of Men's Fashions
Rule #1: A man must never buy pants with the word "bottom" in the name, such
as "Cavernous Bottom", "Bulbous Bottom", "Bottomless Bottom" or "My God, is
that your Bottom?" jeans.
Rule #2: Before purchasing any item of clothing, a man must raise his right
hand and repeat aloud the following somber pledge: "I [your name here] do
solemnly swear that [clothes item here] does not make me look like Travolta
from Saturday Night Fever, Grease or Urban Cowboy. So help me, John."
Rule #3: A man must walk out of the store if a clerk makes reference at any
time to his crotch, particularly the dreaded comment/accusation "it's a
little roomy in the crotch there, isn't it sir?" As for the unexpected
reverse crotch fabric yank and tuck maneuver executed at many finer men's
stores, you can expect to hear from our lawyers.
Rule #4: A man must show no hint of style or flair and strive at all times
to approximate Stalin-era work camp garb. To help resist the urge to
improvise, simply recall those 70's shirts with french street scenes, long
beagle dog collars, and absolutely no natural fibers. These were once
thought to be stylish. Men might still be wearing them today, were it not
for OSHA's landmark ruling that they were simply too flammable for public
use.
Rule #5: A man must never purchase clothes with visible writing, unless it
is related to sports or Bart Simpson. This is especially true of
Euro-sounding phrases like "Chunnel Boy" or sissified concoctions such as
"Mummsy's Yacht Club".
Rule #6: A man must never independently spend more than twenty dollars on
any item of clothing. Suits, and other big-ticket items are covered in
Appendix A: "Asking Mom for Help";
Rule #7: One item per category. If you are shopping with your wife and she
suggests "these slacks are nice," the proper response is "I already *have* a
pair of pants. When your one item is no longer wearable, rise from the
dinner table and announce with feeling "My shirt is dead. I need a new one."
