Anyone have suggestions on how to deal with internet bully's/trolls?
I have not been exposed to it often, but< I am intersted in the topic.

Through experience, my normal route (in real life, growing up in a kinda tough location)) has been to deal directly and promptly with a bully, to let them know that there is a line that if crossed, will be met with action- win or lose. I have found that approach effective, even though it may result in "a few bumps on the head" you stop the bullying and gain respect for your action and the bullying often stops.

But, that may or may not be effective on the internet?

As this relates to the topic, any thoughts?
