I was cruising around DA and encountered a journal of someone who was obviously being hurt by the same Erectile Dysfunction website that nailed me pretty bad a few years back.
There was a secret method an IRL friend of mine pulled on me that made me realize how dumb trolls really are.
She trolled me with the same stupid crap they were spamming on my page. You know the stupidity-- "Shoe on Head" or "Tits or GTFO" (what does that MEAN anyway?!) and plz icons, and then I realized how STUPID and impersonal the trolling IS.
So I saw someone else in the same place I was emotionally, and I joke-trolled them a few times(two comments of "icon spam" ), then explained that it was a joke to show how stupid the trolling is.
Some person is all over me about it. Geez. The person I was helping understands what I'm doing, as I explained it. Humor and then encouragement. Worked for me, still works for me.
But geez.
I told the person who is feeling blue at the moment that they're being judged off a tiny piece of themselves, NOT all of them.
I myself came to realize people who judge me based off a certain site don't really know me at all. The certain site is pretty good at making anybody look like a horrible, mangled person. Granted, if they were just mocking people like Tot mom or Octo mom or John and Kate who the public already KNOWS about, I might have enjoyed that certain site a bit more. I still believe it goes too far.
At any rate, I accomplished my goal and hopefully the person who was being hurt will look at what's happening a little more objectively. They did mention it's hard and painful, which I understand. I told them how I get rid of comments without reading them and hopefully they apply the same technique.
