"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.
