In Internet slang, a troll is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people, by posting inflammatory [e.g, obviously incorrect], extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community... with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion, often for their own amusement.

That means: do not respond. Do not reply. Do not argue. Let it be.

Your reactions are why they post. Any reaction, it doesn't matter.
The harshest thing you can do to them, is ignore them.

This is serious business. Enlightening discussion cannot exist in a toxic environment.

You've probably heard this phrase numerous times before. It's the cardinal rule of being in an internet community, and with good reason. Avoidance is and has always been the best course of action, hands down. The majority of trolls thrive on the confrontation—after all, their singular goal is to get attention—so the more you ignore them, the better... Don't respond to them, not even to call them out as a troll, and they'll go away.
