Don’t engage with trolls - - I just upvoted your meme. And you are correct about the alts Being the same person in many of the cases. When you don’t argue with a troll or their alts, it takes the wind out of their sails. Pretty soon, they know that endless arguing with you is a waste of time and will move on to other imgflip memers who don’t understand what we both know.
I actually do not care the least in how they argue, or what they argue about. NONE of the trolls is entitled to me wasting my time in arguing back at them. I TOTALLY ignore them. And I found that when I started doing that, suddenly the trolls (and their multiple alts) gave up on even trying to argue with me. It’s impossible to have a one sided argument with no one to argue with.
Additionally, I fully believe that trolling is a mental disorder. Feeding this disorder in any way encourages more of the trolling behavior. Starving this disorder tells them that they cannot get their ‘high’ of arguing with you. The will have no other choice but to try to move onto other people who will feed their need for arguing.
