Don't be afraid of the trolls, and if your decision is to NOT IGNORE THEM, then it is you alone who has to endure their crap.
As simple as that.

Just because you "ignore" something doesn't mean it goes away, it just means YOU don't see it anymore. The rest of the community still does. That's like pulling the sheet over your head when something malevolent is coming for you, or the ostrich hiding from predators by putting his head in the sand...
I know it's up to Mr Spread and hope he listens to reason rather than some childish straw argument bravado
And that's the last I'll say about it... But Seriously...
