Apologies for the poor video quality on this one but it seemed daft to waste time on a video explaining why I don't wast time on trolls.

This video taught me that we each have individual definitions of what constitutes a troll.

In my opinion:
If you're young and immature, you're not a troll. You're just a kid.
If you're an adult and just type "gay", you're not a troll. You're just a prat.
If you're trolling a troll, you're not a troll. You're just wasting your time and the real troll is ahead on points.
No malice, no troll.

When you know your personality sucks, that you will be disliked no matter WHAT you do, it almost makes sense to give the world a reason to dislike you. If you project a persona that YOU would hate too, being hated becomes almost a means of control. Don't let them control you, even for a second. Don't hate them. Pity them. They are sick and they can never change. Just block them and forget they exist (apart from the "pet" trolls that genuinely amuse you ofc).

The Management.

  • that contradiction of aiming to completely ignore sth on a 10 min video addressing the issue.

  • A couple of years ago, I was walking down the street with a few of my friends. We were just hanging out and having a good time together. Then, out of nowhere, a skinny little fucker lurched out and started threatening us for no damn reason. What did we do? We walked right up to the little bastard and beat the fuck out of him.

    Did I do the right thing? Maybe not, but I'll tell ya, he never bothered us again.

  • I've always felt that being respectful in any argument with a troll gives the same effect of starvation, as they know they're not getting that reaction they want out of you. I don't feel it's a waste of time, as I feel the observers - the spectators, gain a greater understanding of how trolls will react and respond, and what would upset them.

    It's not impossible to win against a troll, and I honestly think there's alternative methods of succeeding, but if all else fails, ignore them.

    I wouldn't say it is. Because it's not aimed at any one person or comment. It's about their behavior. Actually, even though it's preaching to the choir, as the old saying goes, this video is informative. It does shine a light on that mindset, and daylight is a pretty good disinfectant.

  • @iwanttocrashmybike very good video's will be watching more..I actually beat a troll for a while this eve..he seemed to get quite mad before blocking me..he attacked first..so to me if you wish to be racist and use all the most offensive terms it only holds fair someone should strip you of your"thunder" and help you dig a hole you cannot get out of..is that wrong?? lol..that said I will try this now ..very good and if honest obvious, but credit where due I did not analyse, word or post it !!

  • @KelliFilkins Since he doesn't identify any of them by name, I'd say, no it doesn't.

  • @dooksization Cool bro,I realized that for some of these people(myself excluded;-))

    That to them its just a game or that they dont see it as "hurting" or making someone mad.

  • @iwanttocrashmybike hahaha hello bro :) hope you are well :) ...and agree very good video ....thanks for the link ...am going to sub :)

  • Were all a bunch of assholes,some of us just happen to recover;-)

    Great Vid bro
