█ I suppose this is a journal I've sorta had the inclination to write now and then, and tonight is as good a time as any I guess!
When I'm streaming I literally do not have any rules about how people should behave in the chat. Granted, this might seem like a crazy policy but people for the most part can regulate their own behavior. There's always going to be drama sooner or later, can't do anything about that; people are people.
The thing that goes with people being people is that people also like to provoke others. Some people would like such individuals to be banned on the spot, but nothing is learned and I do love teachable moments; but that's only because I like trolling trolls. Yes, that's something that's possible to do with some practice, and I've had a lot in my time.
First off it's true that ignoring a troll is the best way to deal with them, but it seldom works in real time chatting because there will always be someone who acknowledges the troll's existence. So clearly that's a no go. Personally I like to give trolls an experience they won't forget, to push the envelope as it were. I usually do this by being their friend, like it or not. I'll ask them how they are doing, if they are feeling okay, if they need to talk. I just continue to pry and poke and comfort, this generally disarms them completely because hey when one fishes for a response out of people, compassion and caring is usually the complete last thing on the list of things they expect. If this is the only kind of reaction they get from their attempts, then they tend to quit; and pretty quickly. Course this only works if everyone's reaction is thus, which sometimes it's not.
Interacting with trolls in the end is the only time I take my gloves off, and I enjoy it. My apologies to those who are irritated by the noise or the attention I direct at these people, it's a kind of hobby; a battle of the wits as it were. Course most often the other side is completely witless. I have no shame, and I'm not easily offended; so... trolls are tasty to me!

The best trolls I know tend to be people who don't take it seriously and thus are hard to troll. A troll who takes it seriously is just easy pickings
And then theres the idiots around like that troll you trolled back earlier, doesn't even know how to troll.
LLLUUUUUUUNNNNCH
well, nice way of dealing, or trollin' if ya will, with trolls. sounds logical enough to work for me :P
i btw have my own way of dealing with them, i tell them every fucked up thing about me (usually make it sound MUCH more worse than it actually is) and keep on talking about it. i usually get them to ask me if i wanna talk or something, or they get scared and run off :P
maybe you could post a "how to" on countering trolls? i'm sure we all want to know how exactly a troll can be fed bait and die.

Not for the faint of heart. Endium here really killed the guy with love, and he just took so well to us. This is by NO MEANS the entire thing. Just keep clicking "newer>>" until there's nothing left to read. I advise you don't drink while you read.
