Top Ten Reasons Not to Feed TheTopTens Trolls

The Top Ten
1 It's what they want

Bingo! People (for whatever reason) tend to feed trolls without knowing that's what they want. So basically you're falling under their trap. They want you to get offended and worked up about it. Show some respect for yourself at least.

I used to feed them, but now I don't anymore. Most trolls fail at trolling anyways.

It's fun to feed trolls because trolls can actually be very funny

I used to feed them a lot, but now I try to avoid that happening.

2 If you don't feed the troll, they may go away
3 Trolls are looking for trouble
4 Feeding trolls only makes you seem more immature

That's what happened to me on JBL's lists. I deleted some of the comments though.

Rustler argument.

5 People complaining about the trolls is the reason the policy exists

I am also against that.

6 Feeding trolls is completely pointless

"Troll" is a term concocted by Internet users to marginalize anyone whose opinion doesn't comply with the groupthink embraced by "regulars" on any given site. "Feeding" trolls is no more than actually engaging that differing opinion in logical debate; something rare on this site, where the "safe space" of groupthink seems the prime directive. Deletions (censorship) of comments offering facts and logical argument, which the group cannot counter, are the norm, here. "Fandoms" are often sharply criticized by users of this site, who seem blissfully unaware that they comprise their own.

It fuels the fire and it ruins your reputation on this site.

7 Tracking down trolls makes you worse than the troll
8 Trolls know people will keep feeding them
9 You could be doing other things
10 Trolls know that users have fed previous trolls

It really is easy to troll people on this site.

The Contenders
11 People will call you "stupid" and "gullible" for it

Some people think responding to a troll list automatically means you're stupid.

12 If you don't feed the troll, they'll stop
13 It's pointless to
14 Most of them worship Tails
15 They'll only make it worse.
16 They are the revolution
17 It increases them
18 It makes them grow stronger
19 It will make you feel guilt
