Trolling, Trolling, Trolling?

The way I treat trolls is to believe them, and answer honestly. It matters more to me to answer the question, than to guard myself from these little kids. And just in case they are serious, I'd hate to not believe them. How do you deal with trolls?

    There are only two types of trolls that I won't feed, the one who post a question that is down right stupid or the one who post the same question numerous times. Who really knows on here what is real and what isn't. As long as you answer the question honestly that is what really matters.

    It depends on the quality and nature of the trolling.

    Options for replies:

    1. If it's blatant a low-quality, I call them out for trolling and tell them that they should get more subtlety before wasting everyone's time.

    2. If it's good quality I may add in my own trolling answer, to make it more fun.

    3. If it's very good quality, I add in a compliment on the level of trolling that they are pulling off.

    I must admit, I'm not below trolling stupid questions.

    Same as your way.I deal with them honestly.

    But when the question is obviously stupid and obscene,I tend to get little sarcastic about my answer(s).

    Take care.
