Some people ignore the trolls (which is often the best response \u2014 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.

Not only does my method scare off other trolls, but it lets you profit from them, too.<\/p>\n<p>And, sometimes, force them to renounce their wicked ways.<\/p>\n<p>(As I\u2019ve done, not all trolls are lost forever\u2026)<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, time\u2019s running out.<\/p>\n<p>Subscribe in time to get this issue before it mails here:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.EmailPlayers.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">www.EmailPlayers.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Ben Settle<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There\u2019s a thread running in my private Facebook group (for people who have bought products from me) about hate mail and troll attacks.
