Trolls

Trolls, don't you just want to clobber them with a SmartSick! There you are merrily skipping through the internet, when Bam you see one... how can they be so rude and soooo stupid they just don't get it! Well they are mentally off kilter according to a recent study they have personality traits that fall in the so-called Dark Tetrad: Machiavellianism (willingness to manipulate and deceive others), narcissism (egotism and self-obsession), psychopathy (the lack of remorse and empathy), and sadism (pleasure in the suffering of others). Or a board immature, person wanting to get a thrill.

How To Handle A Troll

We've all heard the term "Don't feed the troll" to me it doesn't mean ignore them, it means don't feed them with your emotions. State your facts, poke a little fun at them, and move on.
