A pachyderm's survival guide to forum stuff

[GoogaMooga]

The internet is an exciting place, full of high adventure and brotherly love, but also the home of the troll. Originally a Norwegian folkloric figure, the internet troll lives for the spats; seeing the target get worked up is the ultimate reward, and any rebuttal or snappy retort is futile.

Which is why a survival guide is necessary:

1. you need thick skin
2. don't feed the troll, but don't expect him to stop on account of that
3. the ignore function is just that, an ignore function to hide unwelcome comments, so why are you clicking anyway
4. grow a pair - if you have already, grow another pair
5. live with it

Good advice GM but you forgot that trolls follow their victims from thread to thread making fools of themselves and NOT their victims. It's easy to ignore trolls and healthy too.

Troll doesn't care. It's an endurance test.

"Artgar" has just had another go at me. This time I didn't click on his "hidden" post. The ignore function is sweet, if you can resist the temptation to click.
