Trawling for shrimp. Yep, that's a shrimp boat just like the ones along the Gulf coast. Nice pic. Hey, who's that on the bridge? Isn't he suppose to be under it?

Man, all implications aside, it sure would be fun to just sit and play on the main deck of that thing with a stocked cooler and a barbecue in calm waters. Then, get all tangled up in one of the nets for a nice siesta.

yeah it definitely would be nice... i'm out on boats fairly often, but i haven't gotten up the gumption to take one of my 'axes' out there with me... too many possibilities, methinks... on a boat that large though, i'd have no choice...

When you suspect that somebody is a troll, you might try responding with a polite, mild message to see if it's just somebody in a bad mood. Internet users sometimes let their passions get away from them when seated safely behind their keyboard. If you ignore their bluster and respond in a pleasant manner, they usually calm down.

However, if the person persists in being beastly, and seems to enjoy being unpleasant, the only effective position is summed up as follows:

The only way to deal with trolls is to limit your reaction to reminding others not to respond to trolls.

When you try to reason with a troll, he wins. When you insult a troll, he wins. When you scream at a troll, he wins. The only thing that trolls can't handle is being ignored.

What Not to Do Top
As already stated, it is futile to try to "cure" a troll of his obsession. But perhaps you simply cannot bear the hostile environment that the troll is creating and want to go away for a while.

If you do that, then for the sake of the others on the system, please do not post a dramatic "Goodbye!" message. This convinces the troll that he is winning the battle. There is, perhaps, no message you can write on a message system that is as damaging as an announcement that you are leaving because of the hostility that the troll has kindled.

If you feel you must say something, a discreet message to the system operator (and some of the others users, if you have their email addresses) is the best course of action. Incidentally, if you are writing the letter in an agitated state, it is a good idea to wait an hour and then give it one last review before you actually send it. That might spare you the pain of saying things that you don't really mean to people you like.
