    The problem is, what goes around comes around and karma is a bitch and all the other clichés. A guy pisses you off so you shop him to his employer so he keys your car so you punch him on the nose so he sticks your DD up your arse and so on and so on.
    There is always a guy round the corner who can tango faster and dirtier so I try not to get too excited, especially about words on a screen which has an off button.

    Well, like I said, you're entitled to your opinion, as am I to mine. My view is that if you keep poking a rattle-snake, then don't cry when it eventually bites!!

    Some folk need to learn the hard way that there are real consequences for their actions, especially those who think it's ok to persecute someone (for years), just because they don't like them, and because their victims have justifiably retaliated, rather than simply sat back and took it!

    And I strongly disagree with the "it's only words on a screen" bollocks. If you don't have the balls to say something to someone's face, then don't do it behind a computer keyboard either. Simple!

    Sorry, I don't think you get it really. Unless you are HIFIs answer to Bruce Lee then as I say there is always someone round the corner that can trump your revenge; and at the end of the day, if you can remain philosophical and at peace with the fact that they ARE only words on a screen that mean little then life can be a lot more enjoyable.

    You misunderstand me, their actions aren't stopping my enjoyment one iota (far from it), and I consider what they write as risible, but I simply don't see why I should put up with what they're doing. I'm not used to being treated that way off-line, so I won't tolerate it on-line either, and I don't see why anyone else should, including Simon.

    Ask him if ignoring his trolls stopped their abuse? I doubt it! Look at the effect those "words on a screen" had on his health! So how can you possibly treat them as trivial?

    Why should these people simply be allowed to get away with their abusive behaviour? Trolls should be stopped (nullified at source) - end of. Ignoring them solves nothing, because they'll simply carry on regardless.

    It's not about "revenge", but simply doing what's right.

    Would you regard yourself on the thick end of trolling on HFWW on the Foo Rant thread? I just want to gauge what is regarded as trolling.
    I read the thread and reckon it was a difference of opinion that both sides defended vigorously FWIW and no more, but our definitions of trolling may differ.

    Do you mean was I on the receiving end of the "thick end of trolling", or the one doing the trolling? It's a little unclear from your use of language.

    If you actually walk away from the trolling and don't look back, as is always the temptation, then the words cannot hurt you. Return to the scene and they will hurt all over again, and if you are prone to fragility then you are doing yourself damage.

    I'm really fascinated by this trolling lark and how it is all things to all men; by the looks of the tfc on this thread, so are others.
