Eh, SOMETIMES bait warrants a response if you’ve got a good one locked and loaded. They were pretty obviously trolling, but I wanted to take the time to spread the word.

Ok so sometimes I get annoyed with my wife for explaining things online to trolls. But I finally asked, and she told me something so profound.

She said the argument isn’t FOR the baiters and trolls. Its for ANYONE else reading. Anyone who knows this is wrong but can’t say why. Anyone who has tried to fight but hasn’t had the tools. Anyone afraid that no one would fight someone attacking them. Anyone who might think nasty opinions actually ARE popular.

So absolutely dont feed the trolls. But also sometimes do say what you should. For the people you want to protect.

Exactly. It isn’t for the trolls themselves, its so the message doesn’t go unopposed.
