Public Service Announcement.
Anthony Colby
Hello all.
Anthony Colby here. In the past I have done some Public Service Announcements where I told you all the dangers of feeding the trolls.
Well not this time.
I say feed the trolls. Trolls are people too and they need your attention. Without it they wither and die. How else are they supposed to know that they are important? Don't we all want to feel loved. So show a troll some love by interacting with them. Support them in their insane ramblings and conspiracy theories. How else are we supposed to know that the government is poisoning us or that aliens actually control the economy. Did you know that the Elf on a Shelf is an NSA program? No. Did you know that the US has weather and earthquake weapons. No. Thank an internet troll.
But along with the love that we all deserve as people the other reason you should feed the trolls is that if you don't they will grow bored. So what you say? If they grow bored they might actually have to do something else. And a lifetime of basement dwelling has left them with no discernible skills. Think of the chaos they could cause in the real world if they have to go outside.
So keep them safe inside where the only trouble they can cause is some mild annoyance instead of massive chaos that could actually hurt someone.
Thanks
Now to be serious. Obviously the above was sarcasm. You should not feed the trolls.
Now some of you will notice that there are multiple examples of me doing just that. I admit it. I have fallen of the wagon several times. Maybe explaining the truth one hundred and one times will get it through and they will realize where they are wrong.
Well that really isn't going to happen.
Truth and facts mean nothing to internet trolls.
They only are meaningful to people who are actually constructive and try to actually work towards something.
So Don't Feed the Trolls
If you fall off the wagon once in a while we will forgive you. But at least try.
Thanks for reading.

Lol rhymes with troll
not for me as I always pronounced it TrOOOOOOl not TroLLLLLLLL
Mmm wonder which is the correct way!
V 😉
I'm feeding them fish oils.
Good for the brain.
It is very difficult not to Anthony when they misrepresent what you're saying for their own means
I understand fully Winston. Many times I have publicly stated I will not feed the trolls but when my name is slandered I can only take so much. I respond. I give them just what they want. Then I think about it and all the good feelings I get from speaking out goes away as soon as the same old statements and lies get published in the next article comments. Why fight someone who will not listen to your side of the discussion? Why get all worked up when it causes you to say things that you regret later?
I know the feeling. It sucks.
I will try to not respond. I will probably fail.
But I will try.
And I will try to make Ireland a better place.
Why fight someone who will not listen to your side of the discussion?
Why indeed
Colby....You abused Cleric brother KRakken while you were minister of community coz he had courage to stand for transparency and integrity of ireland.....and you never apologized to KRakken for it.
As Prior of Clerics and State Prior i can only assume you are a constant threat to my brothers and everyone else who might stand for the same principles.
So its my duty to warn everyone about you and your will to abuse political positions even destroying respect and long time built reputation of ministry of community you hold just to abuse those who stand for justice and honor....
When you find strenght and honor within yourself to apologize to Cleric brother Krakken then Clerics will have a reason to believe Anthony Colby can be saved....

See what I mean.
Why indeed Sweet.
I really think that most people argue not because they dislike the other person but because they seriously want to try to change the other persons mind, as unlikely as that may be. Unfortunately most people hold their opinions as truth and to accept that they may be incorrect is a very difficult thing to do. What starts out as a dispute over technique or semantics usually ends up with personal attacks and dredging up old issues due to the fact that once started most people won't give in. They would rather get angry, stop talking to and begin to dislike the other person when there probably could be some sort of compromise that would satisfy both but neither will now listen.
Of course this is not the case in every situation.
But in many cases emotion gets in the way of constructive efforts.
At least that is how I see things.
come on now trolls gotta eat
Poor colby if u dont feed ur children they will die. Just because u are orc and do not have sufficient large brain cavity to be troll dont mean ur children also is doomed to a life of orcish mediocrity
Also bazinga !!!
Feeding the trolls can lead to a more enlightened and refined level of trolling.
Very few trolls in eRepublik...
Voted!
