<p>[QUOTE=&quot;kirispupis, post: 7789509, member: 118780&quot;]Troll handbook, chapter 2:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>When called out as a troll, come out angry. Blatantly state that the poster knows nothing about the subject and must be stupid. Do this despite the majority of other posters, who state that the troll is the one who doesn&#039;t understand.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Next, state that the poster doesn&#039;t provide any evidence. Completely ignore that for every previous post, the poster linked to articles that provide such evidence. The troll never mentions of course that she ignored such evidence and never provided any of her own, but of course backing up the lack of evidence with evidence would be a paradox.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The troll then claims that her argument must be correct, because the poster clearly can&#039;t understand the subject. Classic argument: I&#039;m correct because you&#039;re stupid.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Next step in the troll handbook: make it personal. Try to insult the poster&#039;s national heritage or culture, neither of which she knows.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Again, make it personal. Call the poster a bad person. Accuse the poster of negativity. Do everything you can to lure him into taking offense and turning this into an all out vitriolic war.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>End by taking the high road. Call yourself the better person. This is a similar argument to the above: I&#039;m right because I&#039;m good and you&#039;re bad.</p><p><br /></p><p>Final note: under no circumstances must the troll add any specific facts, articles, or supporting documents to the discussion. The goal here is to either a) turn this into a shouting match or b) get the poster out of the discussion so she can continue to annoy others.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
