Rockboy will you be my friend please? Pretty, pretty, please be my
friend. Your so cool and would appreciate if you would be my friend. I
can write us a best friends rap too if you'd like. Hope to have a good
time chatting with you as my new best friend.

Next time you are on a message board and you see a post by somebody
whom you think is a troll, and you feel you must reply, simply write a
follow-up message entitled "Troll Alert" and type only this:
The only way to deal with trolls is to limit your reaction to
reminding others not to respond to trolls.
By posting such a message, you let the troll know that you know what
he is, and that you are not going to get dragged into his twisted
little hobby.
The Internet is a splendidly haphazard collection of both serious and
silly material. Because it is so free, there are bound to be problems.
I think that we can best enjoy it if we deal with everything that
happens online with a wry grin and a ready shrug.
