..... the content of most of the topics here is getting progressively sillier.

Shame though because I've noticed even lately that more and more active posters are not even bothering no more.
If I go it's from choice and boredom, not enforced 😉

What would have happened if you didn't respond to that post that has started this latest round of groundhog day?

Most likely the topic would have turned to something else or fallen off the page. So you may have not started it but you (that's a plural you, there are others also) have kept it going, therefore you are equally responsible. Anyway, the choice is yours. You can respond to those you think are having a go at you and feed the need for attention, or you can ignore, walk away and leave them starving.

The contents of the thread is what I was referring to in the opening post. The trend is so predictable from certain quarters, you know the ones, the habitual disruptor of most threads that are started by particular posters.

Once again I have highlighted the issue, all you have to do is rattle the bucket and in they rush to put their snout in the trough.

One has to wonder why the usual crowd persist in exposing themselves to ridicule 🙂

Bon appatite.

Classic response and timing of 

Even more insidiously, the imperative to not to feed the trolls (again, using that term loosely) places blame for whatever unpleasantness squarely at the target’s feet. If only the target hadn’t fed the trolls, the argument goes, the trolls wouldn’t have done what they did! And really, it’s kind of the target’s fault for doing something stupid on the Internet; maybe next time they’ll think twice before posting/doing/saying that sort of thing. In short, the targets—and not the trolls themselves—are the root cause of the trolls’ behaviors. The ultimate message here being: Don’t get trolled.
