Most of these don't really apply to ABDL issues, but it is good for people in general to understand what is going on with trolling. Simply put they are trying to fool you. They find it entertaining to upset people. If you don't get upset then they have failed to troll you. This is why if you have good reason to believe someone is a troll the best thing to do is ignore them. It is also why getting politically correct is the worst possible thing you can do.
I don't always follow my own advice. Why is this OK? Well, it isn't. If I have an advantage it is that I understand that I am an idiot. Everyone who posts comments to youtube is an idiot. That includes me, and if you post comments to youtube it includes you. There are no exceptions. The sooner you understand this the better off you will be.
Maybe you think it is fun to play with the trolls. I just want them to leave us alone. If you play with the trolls or express in comments that you are upset then you are feeding them. Just leave them alone and they will find another target.
If you aren't sure that someone is a troll and you want to address what they have written in comments remember who your audience is. Your audience is not the person you are responding to. Your audience is other people on youtube reading the comments. You don't care about changing the mind of the person you are responding to. You are apathetic to their opinion. You are simply and unemotionally correcting their misinformation. If you have any doubts about the comment you are about to post always remember that you are an idiot, but it is OK because everyone is an idiot.
