'''Don't feed the [[troll
The idea behind not feeding (interacting with) the trolls is that people who write very inflammatory things are doing so in order to provoke a reaction from people and that if they are ignored they will eventually get fed up and disappear.
** some trolls, especially on sensitive topics '''like feminism''', do not require a reaction in the forum, they know or imagine that they're upsetting people even without direct responses
* letting '''women who aren't practiced at debate or anger''' use the trolls as target practice can be educational
* leaving trolling comments visible is confusing or '''threatening''' to people looking for or simply expecting or accustomed to '''[[safe space
* leaving trolling comments visible without replies makes the trolls comments look as if they're normal for that forum, so normal that no one even bothered replying
Ignoring the trolls is more successful when combined with active [[moderation
