Default Does anything useful come from responding to trolls

If everyone simply did not reply to his posts he would go away.

Rationality has nothing to do with it. Imagine you are in a room full of

everything you say. Would anyone not just leave after a while? Trolls goal
is to get attention. Take away the attention and problem solved.

As there are Trolls, so there are Troll Feeders. They are inextricably
linked.
