How do you personally deal with internet trolls?

Well, to say the least, social media has gone full blown HAM.

I realize some/most kids probably speak out of their another name for donkey. So how do you personally interact with trolls on a forum. And I’m not talking about someone disagrees with you (I’ve seen plenty called trolls for having an opposite opinion) I’m talking about blatant trolling, flame baiting, racism to provoke off topic discussion stuff like that.

I was on a website and read the comments and I realized, haha, these kids or people are putting little effort and hide under anonymity and couldn’t care less what people think I bet. So in their mind they aren’t necessarily in the wrong, what they say is as quick as a stupid thought. So I’ve decided to completely ignore the comments. (Yes you can judge me, in the past I would actually go out of my way and comment some sort of article back in retaliation haha, but then again that’s sometimes what they’re after)
