The Science of Internet Trolls

They just better hope we never totally lose our anonymity on the net. :D
 
Reinforces the first rule you should follow when dealing with trolls; Don't feed the troll.
 
Seriously, I just do the same thing on the net as I do in real life when I hear a stupid comment.
I don't acknowledge it and move on in a positive direction.
 
Trolls use to be a very specific thing. Now anyone who makes you feel bad gets called a troll.
