Instead of responding to the brainless, dense, dumb, foolish, idiotic, imbecilic, laughable, ludicrous, moronic, obtuse, simple-minded, stupid, thickheaded questions of Trolls. Why not just DR them and be done with it?

True enough. But Saras breasts are beautiful.

WOW,! Did you get a new thesaurus for your Birthday, or what? :) If you down rate enough trolls you end up dropping your OWN percentage and then you can get accused of being a TROLL. How funny isn't that?

You know...I don't know. Seems like it makes more sense to me!
-
I do both lol, and then feedback them!
-
Don't even DR them..just report and absolutely ignore them.
-
a lot of times, I DO just ignore them, and send feedback to AB and DR them. There are sometimes when I do respond out of frustration, I know. But, especially in the case of the other night, when one of the trolls cloned me, I felt I had to. They came on pretending to be me, announcing that my partner had died. A lot of people fell for it (didn't look at the profile), and a got more than one email inquiring about it. So, I did reply to that announcing that it was a clone and that my partner is alive and well.
-
I report them and ignore them, unless I think someone might be hurt by their posts. In that case I might say something in support of their target just to make the person they are trying to hurt feel better. Those occasions are rare, however.

LOL!!! I couldnt agree more Scooter! Thats exactly what I do. D'r, and move on.

Scooter, I'm a non-DR person, personally. I have only DR'd a handful people in my whole time here, and I don't like doing it. Like others, I RAMO, lol, to quote the old Y!A guidelines. I either flag the question or answer or use the FB link. I don't think it's fair that DRing a troll ruins your percentage, but it does. I don't know how the staff could prevent that, either. A DR is a DR, after all. I am still in the dark as to what 'purpose' your percentage actually serves, though. It's another question, but if anyone can enlighten me, I'd love to know. I think DRing is a personal choice and bad, incorrect answers and trolls are deserving of it. I respect your right to exercise that right. I like to think that the good answers will get pointed up, relegating the bad ones to the bottom of the pile. I find most of the AB users to be good, in that respect. I know that I read many questions that I don't answer, but I point the good ones and ignore the bad.
-
Better yet... just flag them as offensive or nonsense and be done with them. The DR will do nothing but hurt your % of + ratings. ;)
-
because I like to tease and play with them ...make them think they can escape my clutches...lol...the boom!...hit them right in the goolies with a flag! and if they are Yahpoo trolls D/R them for good measure...:):)
-
I know, right?! Geez!!

Trolls provide the only interesting content on this site. The fact that there are more questions about troll questions than there actually are troll questions attests to this. There is nothing you or anyone else can do to actually ignore them, so don't try.
-
New Dictionary Scooter? No point in downrating because you can rarely be sure of who the trolls are. It is amazing how many seemingly very nice people have low positive percentage figures. Why ruin your figures by DRing those that are of no importance.
