2. Don't worry. Trolls just look like trolls.

Believe me, they will look like the big losers, not you.

Use it or don't use it. It's all in what you hope to accomplish.

If you want to have a more pleasant, enlightening and civil adult experience, put the trolls on ignore and never look back.

Who care what they say to you?

The fatal error is in taking them off or signing off to see what they might have said.

If you really need to know, don't put them on ignore to begin with.

Here is the bottom line, imo. People come here to interact and when they respond to you, they want your attention.

Not giving it to them is sometimes exactly the right thing to do.

But, it's up to you.

FWIW, the owner of the site himself has frequently noted that he has some members on ignore, lol.
