Document Summary
Some people believe reasoning is only part of the reason people are morally kept back from doing bad things. What should we do about trolls: make friends with them (but perhaps we should leave this to the more experienced among us, like cambridge professor mary beard) Professor mary beard has done so (as a victim of bullying) Beard reached out publicly on twitter to a troll and said that he is setting himself up with a poor reputation: we can study them. Trent professor beth visser argues that trolls may have sadistic personality traits: they troll because they like it. Visser argues that trolling isn"t fun when no one engages . Ignoring them is typically the best course of action. If you are dealing with someone who is very passionate about an issue, then you can engage in debate and use a variety of techniques to improve the dialectical exchange.
