No truer words were ever spoken Genie
Not always an easy solution tho
It happens here with certain clique's. The power of a gang mentality that support each other with bias.
Yeah, you notice Romeo came in here crying for Rudy. He knows he needs some kind of support.
Once trolls like that are just making things up, with no credibility, it's over them it becomes a self burial. At that point there's nothing so you ignore them, don't give them the attention they crave.
We gave Romeo some attention, but he won't get much more. Because what he says is so ridiculous, the concept of gang mentality flips on him, no matter the thread or Forum, but he's still the troll.
In Romeo's case I live in his head, apparently, so he might come back with the same lies, but it would be foolish to. All that's left for him is projection.
I think Genie's advice might be for some more accomplished, witty or crafy trolls. Not just one's that make up some random lie for attention. Those guys don't get far anyway and the community usually polices the easy ones.
