Why waste time on Internet trollers

Nothing goes up my nose more than people who hurtle into a conclusion by reading a headline and then spray their hostility in comments that have no connection to the article.
They have already decided not to agree, not to like the author and to go for it all guns blazing. Either they did not finish it or understand it. But like Custer they have taken a stand. And we know what happened to Custer.
Pointless being outraged or ‘in’ raged because it is so frustrating. Sometimes they don’t even have the plain rung one common sense to read the report or article and will ignore 99.9 percent of it and cling like clams to three or four words which they then feel justifies their harangue.
Then there is that monster, humor. It is such a treacherously dangerous place. With people increasingly become thin skinned and super sensitive and hunting for slight humor is a greasy pole. Their sense of indignation is only beaten for sheer comic relief by those who take humor literally.
I wrote a funny ha ha piece two weeks on a newly-wed couple sitting next to me on a plane. It kind of went viral but one person wrote to me and said these words; you are obviously a dirty old man who was ogling the young couple and spoiling their innocent joy with your contempt and your rudeness, just because you don’t understand young love does not give you the right to mock them. I pity you.
Say what? She pities me.
After reading it I told my restless outrage to cool it, just wasn’t worth bothering about it.
Trolls take the cake. If you notice their remarks largely underscore three aspects: They are poorly endowed, they have very low self esteem and are frustrated.
It must require an outrageously ugly mind to hide behind anonymity and some stupid infantile title and then let go off one’s sick desires by aiming them at others who, rightly or wrongly, at least have the courage to identify themselves.
And the thoughts expressed are grotesque. Here is neither sanity of debate nor courtesy nor anything but profanity dressed in drag.
Yes, you do feel outraged but you are only exhausting yourself.
Several people have tried to explain to me the role of a troll. I don’t see it. It’s like telling me termites have a positive side to them or cockroaches can be buddies once you get to know them.
Trolls also destroy the ‘comments’ section of any website by starting a fight among themselves that is not even remotely connected to the subject at hand.
So, I, for one, have failed to find any redeeming feature in this tribe. Piff paff, comes in a can and destroys all pests.
