They're agents of chaos -- no more, no less. Trolls don't troll to start an open-minded discourse about complicated issues; they exist solely antagonize and start fights.
Logic bounces off of them like rubber balls shot out of a potato gun. Trying to reason with a troll is a waste of time -- yours, not theirs, because they obviously have little else to do. Sometimes I feel like the only Twitter troll with institutional memory. Terrible people exist all over the world. It's a sad fact of life. And unfortunately, the Internet has given those people the ability to spread hate and malice with almost no real-world repercussions. Some people feel like they can say whatever they want to whomever they want on the Internet because they don't have to deal with the immediate consequences of mistreating another person.
Thankfully, this goes both ways. Online, it's easier than ever to ignore someone's hateful remarks and walk away. Unlike reality, where we are frequently forced to interact with people we don't like, you can ban trolls from your social media accounts and never think about them again.

I've come across five distinctive kinds of Facebook trolls, and I'm sure you've dealt with them too. Here's some advice to stop their onslaught and make your Facebook experience just a little better. Troll type: Old-time Nobody Confirm or ignore?
Social networks provide a slew of opportunities to connect with old friends, but that doesn't mean you need to befriend your third-grade buddy Bill, whom you haven't had a discussion with in 20 years. Usually they mention a time in your life the two of you shared when you were kids. Maybe it's not the end of the world, but it does get a bit awkward when they remember that time and you don't.
So how should you handle the Old Time Nobody? Be friends with them and don't think twice about it. Usually, they're harmless, and either really liked you when you were younger or just want to add another person to their friends list to show off. Either way, what does it hurt? You'll hardly communicate with them through Facebook and that will probably suffice you both.
Don't worry about it and add them to your own list. They became a friend of yours on MySpace, or maybe even followed you on LiveJournal, and ever since then, they've wanted to be your friend on every social network known to man. Sometimes you catch a really serious one who signs up for all the newest services before anyone, and they immediately send out invites like they're passing out candy to kids on Halloween.
Once you get their friend request on Facebook, ignore it. I hate to say it, but it's your only option. Unless you nip it in the bud now, you'll be getting requests to be your friend on even the smallest, most ridiculous social networks, and you'll never be able to stop it. They may send you a few requests before they get the message, which is fine, but unless you want to be annoyed over the next year with more friend requests and ridiculous notifications on Facebook, it's best if you turn the other cheek.
How many times have you met someone who is a friend of a friend at a bar or party, only to come home and see a Facebook friend request sitting in your in-box? You probably don't remember their name, and the conversation you had with them was superficial at best. They may well think they are doing you a favor.
