Why do people respond to trolls and rude comments?

In every social media website I have been there are people who posts rude and unnecessary comments and there are people who are just being trolls to test our patience. There was a time when I was young I used to get disturbed by it, but now I just read them to know what they wanted to say and if I find the comments to be unnecessary and rude I just ignore them without responding to it. But I cannot able to understand people who responds to them and only ended up being harassed.

Didn’t years of internet experience taught them to ignore those type of comments and responding only will get worse that probably would end up hurting your feelings.

P.S. Sorry if my English is not good I’m Still on learning process.

    Yes, it's true...we should ignore them. But that's damn hard when they're being stupid. The comments aren't hurtful to me. I just want them to realize how stupid and immature they're being.

    The best thing to do is play along and take the piss. They'll get bored eventually, when you're not taking the bait.
