I hate it when people you know act like complete dicks and you know they're not. Most of the time its unintentional and they don't even realise they're doing it, but that doesn't stop it from being irriating to me and wanting to intervene when they go too far. The most obvious example of this are my two friends who act like complete trolls on internet forums and youtube comments because they think its funny, I take a dim view to this on the other hand because I think that it is extremly childish and completly pointless because I think that unless you can offer constructive criticism in a comment then you shouldn't post at all.
I know im preaching to the choir here because mostly sensible people read this thing and will know where im coming from, but it still needs to be said otherwise nothing will be done about it. Today for example, my mate posts a link in a completly random comment thread that we had reserved for specific work and then when i redirect it and delete his original message, he gets a trollish on me. I know he was doing it in jest and pretending to be annoyed, but I found it extremly annoying and tedious to deal with as he should have jsut accepted he was wrong and moved on instead of prolonging the situation. I may sound like a prude because of this but the carefully mandated order of things must be maintained in my mind, otherwise chaos will reign (overdramatic i know, but oh well) and i cannot allow that to happen.
Question: How do you deal with trolls?
