Dealing with Trolls
This is how I deal with trolls commenting on my website (at least, today… strategy might change given time)…
Everyone, say hi to Paul! (This is his IP: 141.150.79.232) Paul left this wonderful comment for me recently. It left me feeling confused as to why someone / anyone would take the time to spew so much vitriol. It really makes no sense.
So let me get this straight… you’re 35 (although you look older), unmarried, childless, and very much involved with your “career”. If you continue on this trajectory, you will die a childless and miserable woman, and worst of all, you will have denied Western civilization (and this world) your progeny. It is because of women like you that whites will be an extinct group within a few hundred years. Your time is very near the end. Good luck with your meaningless career.
Hmmm… Glad to know that I am personally responsible for allowing white people to go extinct rather than it being a process of selection. Aside from that, I am quite happy, have wonderful friends and family, and look forward to my future, childless or not.
There is no room for personal misery when there is so much wonder in the world.

John, you don’t think the message was nasty? Paul says she’ll die miserable, that her career is meaningless, and even makes vague quasi-death-threat racist/sexist remarks about her time being near an end (I mean seriously now, unless it’s a death threat, 35 is hardly near an end), and white women not making enough babies for his satisfaction, and your focus is on the fact that what the guy said about age and marital status was true? C’mon now.
Seanda, most if not all of those labels are justified given what Paul said. Meanwhile, what Paul said about miserable deaths and meaningless careers is not. Your false equivocation is just that.
Unfortunately, it stings when ANYone says something so hateful, regardless of who it is, or how much you value his or her opinion. But from an outsider’s perspective, it seems obvious that this person is miserable and insecure. He’s lashing out and just saying whatever he thinks will hurt the most. With that in mind, should you really take this guy seriously, considering he thinks “whites will be an extinct group within a few hundred years” is the mother of all insults?
Also from my outsider’s perspective, I think you’re really pretty, incredibly smart, and enthusiastic about what you do = a trifecta of good qualities 🙂
Though I am not much for newage tripe, The Four Agreements is actually excellent. One of the agreements we should make with ourselves is “Never Take Anything Personally”. Why? Because ultimately it is reflection of the giver and where they are in life, not us.
That said, you rank right up there as a hot, smart, geeky (in an incredibly attractive way) girl. Most of us wish you nothing but the best and would count ourselves lucky to be in the room you light up.
