Thank you Jennifer for the link (again) !
I have recently given our web addy out to some people I have run into that I think might find a lot of good here regardless of how their diagnosis turns out and I worry that they may be turned away by some of the nasty trolling going on.
I warned them about the mostly good natured bantering that goes on including some things that I post. I did not explain the inexplicable (at least to me) nastiness of some .....ahem
new members. I hope they read your post

Life may not be good, but I think it beats the alternative, and if it doesn't, we'll find out soon enough

Quote: What Can be Done about Trolls?
When you suspect that somebody is a troll, you might try responding with a polite, mild message to see if it's just somebody in a bad mood. Internet users sometimes let their passions get away from them when seated safely behind their keyboard. If you ignore their bluster and respond in a pleasant manner, they usually calm down.
However, if the person persists in being beastly, and seems to enjoy being unpleasant, the only effective position is summed up as follows:
The only way to deal with trolls is to limit your reaction to reminding others not to respond to trolls.
When you try to reason with a troll, he wins. When you insult a troll, he wins. When you scream at a troll, he wins. The only thing that trolls can't handle is being ignored.

How can you argue with logic like this?
