Not long ago, I heard from a Friday night troll who sounded like he had one drink too many, has his 'Bens' confused, & can't remember who to blame for his stupid decisions. Here is what he said: === Aren't you the Ben who started the "Book Club" that floundered and cost me a bunch of money years ago? Roger ps: I'm not really expecting a reply === i.e., he is really hoping for a reply. If he didnât he wouldnât have said anything about a reply, or asked at all. And while I will now throw him a pity bone, it's merely to make an example out of him: 1. I never had a âbook clubâ 2. Itâs hard to imagine how a book club floundering would cost a customer of said club money 3. A little detail goes a long way - and this lacks any details What else can I conclude but it's just a drive-by bum. What could he have done to get a reply? Well, first, heâd have to have more influence than I do. I am not the worldâs most influential guy, so this is not all that big a deal. But, I make it a rule never to engage with a troll attacking me out of the blue â outside of mocking them if I can do it in a way that results in profit â unless their âreachâ is bigger than mine. Otherwise what would be the point? Secondly, donât drink & type if youâre going to troll. Sober up and waitâll until the next day. Then re-read the drivel you wrote. Then edit it. Then when you got it out of your system and wasted all that time - delete it. Thatâs my free advice to trolls. And yes, I realize not a single one will take it. Letâs get to the business. The May Email Players issue wonât help trolls. The reason why is, it is all about writing sales copy, and trolls donât actually produce anything. If they did, they would take all that time and energy trolling and write copy. Thatâs been my observation at least.
