You taking my statement to the absolute literal intention instead of the spirit of the message (That is, thinking I'm saying no one ignores trolls ever instead of saying that ignoring trolls is less effective than people say it is) leads me to believe you're being willfully ignorant, or that you sincerely are not equipped to deal with this subject.

But to bounce off AceMos for a moment. I had bullies in school. I tried ignoring them, it didn't work. I also asked them to stop, and it didn't work either.

What worked was me physically hurting the bully, or threatening bodily harm.

Except you really can't do that as an adult without concequences, and even if you could it's not a practical thing to attempt for online bullies.

Thus, calling them out in public is an option if there are more than just a few of them. The more people who let it be known such behavior isn't acceptable, the better.

The spirit of your message must be pretty incomprehensible because I could find no meaning to it at all, thus why I went for the literal approach. Maybe learn to actually convey what you mean if you want responses to understand it.

Oh, and, this isn't high school, nor is it comparable. IRL, you can ignore someone but they can still do stuff to you. Online, their comments and their profiles can be gone from your personal view in the matter of seconds, and they can't do much beyond making alt accounts to be ignored further.

If this was IRL, sure, but we're talking COMMENTS ON A LIVE STREAM(apparently?). Trolls LIVE off responses on the internet, that means they're doing their job. That's literally a troll's job on the internet, to bait you to responding.

Your high school comparison is awful. And your solution is just to give the trolls more ammo(might as well put up a sign that says 'hey, we respond!').

All this being said, it still feels like she's more or less equating people's love and preference of Adam as hate on her to me so lol.
