Trolls are a fact of life on the internet and a consequence of the
increased access people have to it. Having taught high school for
some years I can tell you that most 15 year olds are delightful
people. Like adults, some of them are obnoxious twerps. ( I have
observed the the frequency of obnoxious twerps increases in direct
proportion to disposable parental income.).
IF you want to respond to a troll, do so by email. Responding
publically only encourages them. They are seeking attention and the
best way to get them to go away is to not give it to them.
By the way, this is a suggestion and not a edict.
