Easy. Having people change their ways on your demand is called power. And since our brave new economic order eliminated the constructive ways of gaining power, more and more people see this kind of behavior as the only outlet for their ambition to be more than a nameless cog in the machine. >after said person removed the photo in a completely reasonable, not-online-24/7 amount of time That was his mistake. He fed the troll. Thing is, trolls like this don't care about the actual issue, they just use it to exert power over other people. If you engage in a conversation with them, you basically volunteer to become a target. If you resist the urge and completely ignore their outburst, they will quickly get bored. For a couple of days to a week the front page of your issue tracker will have one issue where one person is effectively shouting to himself. In a few weeks it will go to the bottom of the list and nobody will care. And as for the Twitter shitstorm, it could be rewarding for trolls to bash someone's response and stick all kinds of labels to them, but it doesn't work if there is no response at all. |
