How to Deal With Trolls Online
How to Deal With Trolls Online
With the evolution in technology and with the internet now being available to just about everyone, it has become almost impossible to see a day, where we could go on without accessing the internet.
Now with the internet being available in such a great abundance and with so many people using it, it is safe to assume that there are always going to be people who are looking to stand out.
Now some people try and do this by helping others and being model citizens in the online community, while there are some who have taken the complete opposite path and have chosen to become trolls.
These trolls make sure that they point out everyone’s mistakes, and they misguide and deceive people every time that they can. This is why it is very important to deal with these trolls appropriately before you head into any trouble.

1
Check all information you find online
The first thing you need to do, is to make sure that you go on and check all the data that you get online.
Most trolls go on and put up falsified information and data online, which most people feel is authentic. This is why it is very important for you to go on and make sure that whatever data you get is checked either on more legitimate websites or through books in a library. -
2
Use proper grammar
One of the trolls favourite things to do is to point out grammatical errors in just about everyone’s work. This is one of the most annoying things that trolls do, so you need to be very careful that you don’t make these mistakes.
If you make a typo every now and then, they might not make your life miserable. However, if you are constantly making some very basic grammatical errors, you are in for a bumpy ride. -

Counter troll
Despite everything, the best way to handle a troll, is to go ahead and counter troll them. This is something every troll feels might never happen, since they think no one apart from themselves has the free time to sit online and troll people.
As a result, this counter trolling will really get to them and they might end up leaving you alone. -

Give them no attention
Lastly, if you give a troll no attention, they are going to end up getting very, very bored and would end up leaving you alone.
