"DON'T FEED THE TROLLS " Great advice. Except for it does not work. The trolls pack a lunch. And the more you ignore them, the more pernicious they become. Go ahead. Try it. Walk away. Ignore them when they've fixated on you, when they've CHOSEN you. If they can't reach you on Twitter, they'll spam your blog comments. Ignore them there, they'll start spamming your e-mail inbox with the most vile filth. If you're an author, ignore their e-mails and they will leave spam comments, false, negative reviews on your works, which they have neither purchased nor read, all in an effort to keep ANYONE from buying your books. You are no longer a human. You are a CHARACTER in the soap opera they've created for their entertainment. The "Truth"? If it doesn't mesh with the "Doctrine" or the "Canon" then it is declared "Apocryphal" and is never to become part of the Dogma. The truth is what they SAY it is. William M. Schmalfeldt, Sr., knows of whence he speaks. He's been doing battle with a pack of Internet trolls for nearly two years. Each day that goes by, they find new, more disgusting and filthy ways to involve themselves into his life, that of his wife, his family, his property, even his pets. In "Troll Louse Kookies," Mr. Schmalfeldt shares the stage with other writers who offer their opinions on the subject of Internet trolling. Some have thrown in the towel. Others say, "Don't Feed the Trolls." If you walk away from the Internet, they win. If you ignore them, they ratchet up the trolling to new, more vile and filthy heights, and they win. If you fight back, they win. Watch as some truly disgusting, filthy lowlifes attach like leeches to this man with Stage IV Parkinson's disease, his wife the cancer survivor, and deceased family members. And now, the death threats. Will someone have to be killed or injured before law enforcement enforces the laws already on the books?
