Re: does "just ignore it" work for most people?

I think the reason a lot of people are going straight to bullying is because the "just ignore it" and "he/she/they are just trying to get a rise out of you" lines are so often used in regards to bullying (and trolling, for that matter). So, that's the from of reference that a lot of us are automatically pulling from.

I do think you're right, though, and I think the second part of my post does apply to that. Let the person calm down; come back and talk about it later. It can be really hard for either party to listen when one or the other is fired up.

True--that, and "he's doing it because he likes you"...

Oh man, I hate that one. Like, first, no, he's not necessarily doing it because he likes you. And second, even if he is, it's still dickish.

I think trolling is the one situation where it's usually good advice, though not when it becomes really targeted and extreme (such as a few haters we've had lately) - at that point it needs to be addressed.

I think you're right. In most instances of trolling, turning away really does help. But I also think that some people have taken that too far, to where they have trouble recognizing when turning away doesn't and isn't helping.

Then again, that could be said of a lot of things.
