Interacial Relationships. Why people do it.

Like a fire there are certain ways to put them out. When this first started only thing needed was a little water of retardant and the issue would have been resolved. instead folks kept putting gas on it because they wanted to see how big it got.

After it finished burning the house, it spread to the surrounding woods, still was controllable but for some reason we chose to see how it would burn the trees, by continuing to engage even though everybody warned everybody else it would get out of hand.

Now it is out of hand, and like all fires, once to big water alone will not stop it. It's time to kill this in a multi-pronged attack.

1) Don't feed it (Quit giving serious answers and antagonizing answers)
2) Every thread it starts ignore it. (If you don't have the ability to not feed just don't click)
3) Troll it by taking over every thread they start and turn it into a subject completely different than what the OP troll wants it to be. (Because the troll will get mad and will start creating threads just to piss everybody off, you can either complain about the wasted space or use the wasted space for something else)

This is funny. Everyone complains about trolls, but then populate the threads w/ pages and pages of antagonistic, or snarky or ____-type responses. eh.

Use the troll for momentary freedom from an otherwise boring workday or ignore them in in the interest of your personal sanity, but the number of people who say don't feed the trolls and then do just that has always intrigued me.

It is an intriguing thing. I guess you are saying in the human psyche, it is in our nature to feed trolls It's like a parasite/host relationship.

The parasite (troll) feeds off the host just enough to keep them alive, while the host may enjoy a certain benefit of feeding the troll that allows them to alleviate some negativity within their system.

Hmmm

I feed the trolls, but I also want them gone when they cross the line. Some trolls are legitimately funny. No need to paint them all with one brush.
