okay, so we all know certain individuals get some sick pleasure out of riling others, so why not just stop playing their games? yes, it's sick, sad etc. we all know that.
but surely it's best to just not respond.. after all, they want your attention and that's what they always seem to get. it's sad, attention seeking, and we don't reward bad behaviour, do we??!
it needs one brief response (like a full stop) to remove it from the "unanswered questions", and that's all.
But surely by making a post like this, is a reponse to them? I appreciate you're not replying ot them on their actual threads, but this is still attention, of which they crave.
If everyone ignored the posts and reported them, and made no further comments about it on subsequent posts they'll soon get bored.
The best thing to do, is to report the poster/thread and email the ED witha link..Responding to them just adds fuel to the fire and gives them the attention the want.
actually no, it's just in some vain hope that people would stop getting worked up over the other threads, which is what the postee is trying to achieve.
Small children prefer to be shouted at rather than ignored altogether, same principle. By making this thread you are still giving them attention- thus achieving nothing I'm afraid.
