Yeah it’s so easy to get caught in the troll trap! I’ve learned its best to let them sail by.

The very first comment I ever received on my blog mentioned spelling. Mortified, I combed through the piece, thinking a couple of errors must have slipped through, but was certain that it didn’t contain “multiple spelling errors,” which was the comment. I didn’t find any, but thought that this didn’t mean much. When I looked into who had said this, so that I could ask about the mistakes he had found, I discovered that it was merely a bot. And I thought I had a fan! *sigh* I’m over it

Great post! I am so fed up with people who act like trolls on the internet. People who really care about writing and other writers will support you, not tear you down!

Sound advice! I always perceived the ‘moderate comment’ function as more bureaucratic than adding real value – but your words changed my opinion that. Makes sense really, delete the troll comments that clog up your time and blog, and deliver better quality to the person reading it, and therefore a better experience Good recommendation!

Trolls, rather than spammers, are the reason I always moderate comments on my blog and don’t allow comments at all on other blogs I own. Trolls I will read and then delete. Uncaught spammers I often laugh at and then press delete.
I cannot be doing with arguing in the comments with a troll. It simply wastes my time and the time of anyone kind enough to read my posts.
Let the trolls get their own blogs and argue with themselves.

LOL Kristen, I so enjoy your posts. Is it pathetic that I wish my blog could attract some Crazy Trollers? Oh well, I can only keep on hoping

[...] Kristen Lamb breaks down the blog troll. I thought trolls mostly hung out on websites like The Bump, where bored women poked at each other with nasty comments. (Oh. My. God. You ate lunch meat? Did you at least microwave that first? No? You might as well have smoked a stogie, nursed a bourbon and had sushi.Your poor future child.) [...]
