> [@Marley23](#): > > Sometimes, yes. But you can also find a lot of instances of people telling terrible or unbelievable stories and people going out of their way to insist it could be true- or at least plausible. The really funny(sad? incredible?) part is that the terrible unbelievable stories follow such a fixed pattern. As long as I’ve been reading the boards there’s always been a thread started by a first time poster detailing a lurid personal problem designed to elicit a reaction. And it always gets it. ---

[Wired has a very interesting, related story today.](http://www.wired.com/2014/10/trolls-will-always-win/) Basically, you can’t win against trolls. If you ignore them, they win. If you engage them, they win. Because their trolling isn’t really about you, but more to do with their competition against \*other \*trolls in trolling you. They’re trying to out-troll each other. ---
