If you notice the post count of that poster, and realize it is likely a troll just trying to get a fight started, you can understand that it is best to not respond too much to that type of troll. If anything, in the privacy of your own home, take pity on someone who has so little to offer the rest of the world (or even their own community) that they have to seek this kind of venue and that kind of post to draw attention to themselves. More than likely it is an 8 year old with nothing to do......either that it is someone older but with a childlike mind.

Either way, if you do nothing and don't respond, they do something silly like try to stimulate the argument at which point Synopsis or LR bans them, or they disappear to never post again.....at least under that name.

As a matter of practice, when you see a post from someone who is a first or second time poster, you will notice that the good ones either ask a serious question about an area or event, or they respond in a helpful manner to someone else's serious question. If their first post is some sort of negative response that has nothing to contribute, it can generally be accepted that the individual posting is a troll.

Thanks, yes I pretty much knew this, we see lots of trolls on some of the travel forums, but I am just not smart enough to ignore these people.. Someday I will learn...

You should see some of the ones popping out of the woodwork on the Alaska forum. A lot are media trolls, looking for whatever political dirt they can find, and those get rather short shrift. The only problem with them is that if they can't find what they want, they're liable to make it up, and eventually it will show up in the National Enquirer, or something similar.
