Do Not Feed The Trolls
Abbreviation: "DNFTT"
So, uh.....what's a Troll?"Trolls are recognizable by the fact that they have no real interest in learning about the topic at hand — they simply want to utter flame bait. Like the ugly creatures they are named after, they exhibit no redeeming characteristics, and as such, they are recognized as a lower form of life on the net, as in, “Oh, ignore him, he's just a troll.” Compare kook.
"Trolls are often insane. They are created when the insane jump from one community to another looking for a home; after a while they become trained that they are only going to get attention if they attack...Collective sanity must prevail.
"A good troll is like a bad driver. They're never in an accident, but they see a lot in their rear view mirror." ~

They are a perversion of all those purposes. Nonetheless, you are never going to get rid of them. Wherever there's a crowd there's an attention seeker. It's human nature." ~
