Such vitriol comes from a deep, dark, dank and very bad place.

Shining a light on their ignorance SOMETIMES sends them scampering.

That has long confused me. Am I that naive, or am I taking it far too literal??

Very mean of you to use big words. Especially multi-syllable words.

They are probably all googling the words right now.

Arguing with a troll and using big words doesn't mean you won. The ONLY proven way to beat a troll is to ignore them. If you respond the Troll wins. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. The old saying, "don't feed the troll" is so simplistic, but even the smartest people get tripped up. Not only did the troll get a direct response from you, you went to another board and made a thread about it. Troll 2...OP zero.

I ignore most but if they attack me, especially personally, I respond to see if they are a 'hit and run' paid troll. More often than not, they never respond, so I suspect that is the case.

I've been known to respond with a simple inquiry as to their recompense for posting, as in is it by the word, by the post, and do they get a bonus for posting rude photos. Again - crickets.

We've never quite been sure what it meant but... sugar is sweet. Therefore: sweet tits? Yep. I'll take it.

sugar tits:
n. Describing a female with a deligtfully sweet bosom; a delicious pair of breasts.

It looks like the appropriate response is, "Why thank you, they are quite delightful!"
