Trolling 101: How to be an Internet Asshole

Internet Troll:
One who deliberately (the purpose usually being self-amusement) starts an argument / makes derogatory remarks in a manner which attacks others on a forum without in any way listening to the arguments proposed by his or her peers. S/he will spark such an argument via the use of ad hominem attacks (i.e. "You're nothing but a fanboy" is a popular phrase; negative remarks about one's appearance/character is another common tactic) with no substance or relevence to back them up, as well as straw man arguments, which s/he uses to simply avoid addressing the essence of the issue.

The desired result of trolling is to achieve an emotional response from the recipient of this behavior. This is how the trolls "get off" or, as I often refer to this, mental masturbation.

The most effective approach to trolling behavior is to ignore and block the person. If s/he comes back with another account ("sock puppet" is a common phrase for this tactic), continue to ignore and block until the "troll" gives up on his/her quest.

If you DO respond to trolling behavior, do NOT give any sort of emotional response! Only use logic, rationale, and remain calm & collected no matter how frustrated you may feel. This may stop the attacks. If not, then refer to the previous paragraph. ;p

@JDizzytheDINO It was not fake, I am not gay, and an inanimate object of any sort cannot be gay. If you think it is stupid, fine, then it is stupid. But it is not gay.
