There’s a thread running in my private Facebook group (for people who have bought products from me) about hate mail and troll attacks.
One of the members posted a screen shot for us.
It was quite the nasty comment, too.
And, the guy who sent it clearly has issues.
Anyway, so the thread started talking about various ways people deal with trolls. Some people ignore the trolls (which is often the best response — trolls thrive on attention, if you ignore them you are basically starving them, they hate that). Some people have replies meant to make the troll look and feel like an idiot. And some, are way too nice for ol’ elBenbo’s tastes.
My contribution to the thread?
This:
“I like to publicly mock the trolls by putting their idiotic comments (and my reply) on display and frighten off the others. Kinda like they did to the orc heads in Lord of The Rings…”
And then, I put a picture of what I was referring to.
(It’s from the movie “The Two Towers”).
Anyway, trolls gonna troll.
You can ignore them.
You can try to silence them with niceness.
Or, you can put their heads on display and publicly mock their stupidity using the method I teach in the upcoming September “Email Players” newsletter. Not only does my method scare off other trolls, but it lets you profit from them, too.
And, sometimes, force them to renounce their wicked ways.
(As I’ve done, not all trolls are lost forever…)
Anyway, time’s running out.
