As many regular posters know there are the "Forum Trolls" that log on for no other reason than to see how many people they can piss off. Many times they are not even who/what they claim to be. They will take any side of an argument in an effort to get their wanted responses. To engage them or worse yet to stoop to their level only encourages them.
The best response would be no response as that would take away their energy and cause them to fade away. If you feel you must post something, chirping crickets always works for me.

It's tough to resist the temptation to respond. You just have to exercise some self control otherwise you'll risk facing the consequences.

Yes, I agree! I replied to , probably shouldn't put their name on here, which I shouldn't have wasted my time. Learned my lesson, just ignore them! I didn't know that's what they are called on here. Thanks for the info!

Trolls are like a disease. When they crawl out from under their rocks, they start to multiply, especially when they are engaged.
They are like a bad rash and you want to scratch it, but you know it will spread if you do. It takes will power, but soon they will surrender back to their rocks and be gone.
