The China forum seems to attract a lot of 'undesirables' and persistent troll activity where the sole purpose of a nusiance poster is to get a rise out of people and make them IRRITATED and respond in indignation to a troll post. The only thing trolls want from you is ATTENTION i.e. that you take notice of them, and the way you deal with them is to IGNORE what they post or write. If you dont respond, you take the wind out of their sails and all they do is end up talking to themselves or go elsewhere.

here is more info on dealing with nuisance posts, trolls and foul language etc.

That would be "don't respond" (who's that trippin' over MY bridge....)

I'm not in a position to pick on anybody about their spelling and typographical mistakes. I'm writing here to get one thing straight. The thread Whiner's Whine of Racism in China and Hippocracy was locked and the final word was PAULH's:

If posts are just to rile people we can ignore that.

The problem is disinformation. Some users just read and believe a trolls' misinformation.
