I've come to realize that more people love to give their opinion than actually know how to intelligently present an arguement. This is the first in a series of tips on forming an arguement and not sounding like an dumb bunny in the process.
Tip #1: Ignore trolls.
We all know who they are. It would be more appropriate to call them seagulls. They fly in, crap all over everything, and fly off. They live to flame and annoy.
Suppose somebody walked up to you for no apparant reason and began poking you in the eye with a stick. What would you do? Would you poke them back? Yell at them that they're a moron while continuing to allow them to poke you in the eye? Would the two of you continue standing there jabbing each other in the eye with sticks? Most people with half a brain would remove themselves from the situation and just walk away. So why don't people transfer that logic to trolls? Why continue egging them on? These bozos thrive on the conflict they create.
Just walk away from it.
