@blots People have simple quieted down, this is not a good thing. The ignoring of trolls is mostly used as a way to keep people away from a near hopeless argument where the troll merely plays the devils advocate, trying to get a reaction out of someone that will please them. Hedonistic in a sense. The internet doesn't HAVE to be this way. People are merely believing that is has to be this way. creating some kind of loop of confirmation bias and bandwagon where they believe such things are unfix-able creating a pessimistic view of the world, and humanity. BUT! The confirmation bias can also act the other way as well. it only SEEMS as if the bullies and creeps are every where, but, you may be looking in the wrong place on purpose or, you are merely counting or valuing the negative more, blocking out the other info that will balance out that. The problem: Trolls are infesting areas to get people mad, no one is infesting areas to make people happy. (Well, not exactly. Left out info.
