Don't have an argument? Do this: 1. identify person who disagrees with you. 2. Label them a "troll" 3. Block them so there is no opportunity to lose

And you can pretend it was done due to some moral superiority over them being a "troll", and not your lack of ability to convey an argument.

That seems the 101 online. Imagine any institution in real life acting like that.

Hmmm. 🤔🤔🤔For me, personally, people who enjoy arguing are exhausting. They are usually the sort of people who will never agree to disagree, and go on and on forever...thinking they can wear you down and force you to agree. AND they usually do wear me down and wear me out. However, they will NEVER force me to agree.

I have known several people here who do that. Yes, eventually I block them, because they are exhausting.
Or they respond to reasoned arguments by making disgusting and mendacious comments about you and anyone connected to you.

Sometimes I block people without responding to them on the grounds they have sent me disgusting direct messages. I don't need their comments and I don't see why I should put up with it.

If you think that makes me appear unreasonable, that's for you to deal with. The only time I will be answerable is when I have done or said something wrong. Trolls do exist on this site and I will block them without warning. And I have done so

@autumngirl27 Blocking over abusive messages is completely reasonable. Yet, most of the time the block is just used when the other person doesn't have a suitable response, here is the latest one:


They also love the laugh emoji. Every single time lol.

I think trolls hate being ignored. So I ignore them. If they have a good point but insist on throwing in gratuitous insults that's it...no reply.

@FreddieUK i dont mind if they are polite and if not sometimes i drag them out for all to see.. however i see your point .. i will keep that in mind.. and i try to friend both sides . just saying.
I'm a troll, but I'm also always correct.

Ha. Saying it like it is. Don't forget to label them a narcissist as well.
Magenta · F
@Therealsteve Yes many do. It annoys TF out of me. I believe a lot of it is projection of their own narcissistic behavior.

I don't care if they've watched 500 You tube videos and researched it for years, they are NOT a psychologist or a diagnostician.
@Magenta They watch and take advice from Dr. Phil who calls every alleged abuser (usually the male) a narcissist. Ironically, unlicensed "Dr" Phil is the biggest "narcissist" of them all. 😂

@SmileOnYourBrother Yeah. In order to be a narcissist you have to put people through the idealize, devalue and discard phases and be unable to pair bond and continuously go through that cycle instead of bonding. Nowadays if anyone does anything someone doesn't like, it's "narcissism".

@markinkansas Click "Edit Profile" from your page, click "Blocked Users & Groups", click "Muted Groups" and enter the group name in the provided space below - there you can also review and manage your list of muted groups/forums, or go to the group/forum page you want to mute and mute it from the bottom of the group's description box
