Topic: The Need for Attention

[etong]

"Internet Trolling" is a good example of persistent, abnormal behaviour. This is the often anonymous use of forums to post irrelevant, disruptive, insulting or abusive messages, designed to infuriate or upset members, leading to replies, counter criticism, and arguments and taking the forum way off topic. The troll gets a kick from single-handedly moving others to spend their time and emotional energy on him or her, and even on each other. The best way to deal with Internet trolling, and other adult behaviour which is primarily intended to elicit attention, is to not respond, to not engage and to thus deny the person the attention they seek. If the perpetrator is denied the attention, there's a chance that they will think twice before taking this approach again. If they get attention, they might well do it again.

This is a good read. Hindi lang sa internet nag-eexist ang trolls.

In most cases, sa office, sa public places, trolls are everywhere.

If you experience being trolled, probably you will do the same to others.

i just ignore the trolling if ever there is one... don't need to further any discussion if it doesn't merit anything...

Apparently, bulag narin ata siya at mali mali na rin ang nirereplyan sa ibang thread. Kawawa naman ubos na siguro FB friends kaya dito sa espiya nanggugulo.

Still doing the recommended way, not going to respond to an attention seeker.

Akala ko payapa na uli dito. Pa re-inforce nalang mga kaespiya. Tulong narin natin to sa kanya.

Not saying don't reply to the user entirely, just ignore his troll threads.
