User blog comment:ForestFairy/How to Take the Fun Out of Trolling/@comment-162.192.193.236-20150604212448

There's more than 1 type of "troll"... those just seem to be the most common... but there are some that (if you have the mental capability for it) can be shut down with a high enough combination of intelligence and a good wit (and razor sharp tongue/keyboard)... I've on a few occasions managed to do this, but it's a very rare feat for me to have that mental sharpness when one comes around. It's fine if you don't have that capability, most of the time, I sure don't.

Overall, I agree, best to do is just use whatever ignore/block option available and move on... but don't just shut down anything negative what so ever. I've seen tons of negativity towards something that actually is -NOT- trolling... if you ignore intelligent responses just cause they're negative, you become the troll... be careful.
