There is something in us that wants to correct them or defend ourselves or something like that and it is very very hard sometimes to just sit back, say nothing and watch whilst someone has verbal diarrhoea all over a thread - usually completely wrong stuff as well.
Sure, if we ALL ignored them, it would work, but because people can't always seem to do that, it makes it harder. Make good use of the ignore function because it's about the best thing you can do for yourself as a member once you've reported a troll. And if the troll goes personal and heads for your PM inbox or personal profile, use the blocking function to ensure they cannot post or message you - or even read your profile posts.
It's just in our nature to defend ourselves, whether in person or online :lol: That's where the ego kicks in.
