I use trolling tactics to build my brand.

Mike Cernovich

So this is why I can't agree with "don't feed the trolls." When millionaire celebrity broadcasters and entire publications start trolling, ignoring them isn't really an option anymore. They are gradually making trolling normative. We have to start feeding the trolls: feeding them with achingly polite emails and comments, reminding them of how billions of people prefer to communicate with each other, every day, in the most unregulated arena of all: courteously.

Caitlin Moran

There's something behind the decision to choose to lash out at a woman. The answer to how to fix internet trolling is like fixing sexism. How do you do that? I'm of the opinion that discourse helps, that changing people's minds changes people's actions. On a more practical level, I do enjoy sassing back at trolls, because I always win, because my job makes me better at arguing. If I can frustrate or embarrass a troll, then that lodges in that person's brain that trolling me is not a consequence-free hobby.

Trolling can be a great way to engage with the world, a way to regain self-esteem and happiness, or, dare I say it, a way of life.

Limmy

Anubhav Sinha

Trolling taps into people's desire to poke fun, make trouble and cause annoyance.

My schtick is trolling people. I love getting a rouse out of people and making them angry.

Colby Covington

I want to use the best technology we have at our disposal to begin to take on trolling and other nefarious tactics that give hostile voices disproportionate weight. To do everything we can to level the playing field.

Jared Cohen

People that are not happy in their offline life tend to turn to trolling to fill the void. Oftentimes, the people saying racist things do not even necessarily believe in what they are saying. They are just looking for attention they do not get in real life. When you keep that in mind, it is easier to avoid indulging those people all together.

Franchesca Ramsey

People moan about Twitter, people being rude and trolling. Just turn it off. Life goes on.

Tom Parker Bowles

This trolling culture is not good.

Neha Bhasin

Trolling and bullying has become a norm on social media and people are not aware of the ways to deal with it. So, it's important to create awareness and let people know that they are not alone.
