LGBT, when we see a troll post?

Rather than answer or report (I know, they can spice up the day) we just ignore them. Imagine, our section only devoted to us. Not asinine questions that have been asked at least 100 times before or ones meant to cause flames. Are we above Religion etc., or sinking to their level? I know, it's been tried before. Why did we fail? I really don't know, although quite a few have gone down in flames. Why not leave the flames? They'd rather we enter into them. What do you think? Maybe list trolls at the bottom of posts would be one way.

    I ignore the nasty ones and when I'm bored I'll answer the fun/crazy ones.

    I agree. I don't answer those questions because doing so is impractical and won't really affect my life except for making me angry when I don't need to be. I would love for the drama to end so that I don't have to keep wasting my time telling people to leave me out of it because I don't really care.

    I have to admit though, every once in a while, when I'm bored, I'll look at stuff like that and laugh at how pathetic those people are. If that were to stop, however, I could easily just find a book.

    I try to ignore them, but I have to admit that the sarcastic side of me takes over from time to time.

    It doesn't really matter, though. The population here fluctuates sufficiently that there will always be those who have never seen, for instance, The Man post about his gay son who is apparently adopted or whom he is about to adopt or whatever version of the story he's peddling at the time.

    It's a nice dream, but don't hold your breath.

    I kinda like calling them on it (T-R-O-L-L) and I can get sarcastic at times. If they are nasty, I have no problem reporting them, although I'm not sure how much it affects them since they just generate a new identity and keep going.

    I agree 100% but some people don't think like us. And just because WE do something a certain way doesn't mean they will do it the same way.
