1. When you stand up to trolls by using their own tactics against them-- petty insults, sarcasm, twisting
words, in an attempt to '
troll them back'.
2. When you PRETEND to stand up to trolls --- but your actual motive is to encourage flame wars and mistrust in general... by labeling an innocent poster as a
troll and getting other posters to believe the label is true, so they turn against the falsely-accused.
3. Anti-trolling, ultimately, is just another form of trolling. However 'well intentioned' a so-called anti-
troll claims to be, ultimately anti-trolling only gives a
troll even MORE of the negative attention he craves, and encourages more posters to get angrier at each other, for stupider reasons.
