Some people always want the last word, even if it is with a troll.
Morning
Yea, I'm not sure it's the last word thing...why bother, and that includes me, to respond to someone who is clearly stirring the pot...it serves no purpose except to encourage them.

I agree,but it's been going on for ages and won't change. I guess if there were threads posted that were of interest to everyone, we wouldn't be surfing the Forums looking for somewhere to post.
Trolls on the internet can be infuriating to other people reading or participating in a website. If you know how to handle a troll, beating the troll frustration-free can be very simple and quick, as outlined here.
1 Make sure you're dealing with a troll. Sometimes, what appears to be a troll may just be a very stressed out person. Avoid getting heated yourself and try to ask kind questions or make kind suggestions before assuming the worst. Always assume good faith initially. Keep your sense of humor. You may be able to joke them out of their misbehaving. Consider ignoring them. Troll behavior directed at you will usually stop if you don't add fuel for them to play with.
2 Report the troll to an op, administrator, or site owner. An op (channel operator), administrator, or site owner will know how to deal with the troll and will know whether to ban or kick. 3Use the ignore command. If you want to ignore them, type /ignore troll's_name_here, you won't see any of the text they write!
Message Board Trolling 1Ignore the posts. A troll's goal is to make users angry, and by responding to their posts, you are "feeding the troll". The sooner you extinguish the trolling, the better. 2Compliment the troll. Trolls will be thrown off balance if you give the a simple compliment, and may even stop trolling people. And keep it up!
3 Report the troll to a moderator or the site owner if they persist. If the trolling persists, a moderator or site owner can deal with them.
User Page Trolling 1Ask the troll to stop posting on your page. Only do this once. 2Stop responding to them. Keep your sense of humor and don't get angry. Treat the matter as what it is – someone testing your boundaries and waiting for you to bite. 3Ask for a moderator, administrator or site owner to intervene if the troll doesn't stop.

Our country just doesn't know it's weaknesses. It is heavily in debt and is squeezing us of our hard working money. There they are talking about cuts on every major government departments to save cash, and now they are giving millions of pounds to a foreign nation that is heavily corrupted. Ok I have sympathy for the lost of life's in Philippines , but can Britain give food In place of aid instead ocashcash!

Wouldn't do if we liked everyone I suppose.
I agree but I'm not talking about people we aren't too keen on...I'm referring to those who have proven to have been trolling in the past and continue to do so. Why is it we find it so difficult to ignore ignore ignore?
