Feed the trolls?

Sorry if this has been covered before, I did a cursory search but couldn’t find anything.
When we have ploppers/trolls invade the boards what does everyone think is the best strategy? We’re always told on other boards to ‘not feed the trolls’ and that would be the tack I would instinctively back.
However..... does this then edge into #nodebate territory? Do we become as rigidly stubborn as the TRA’s?
I’m totally stumped for an answer and was wondering what everyone else thinks.

Sometimes we feed them recipes Grin

Mostly there’s at least one regular poster who will calmly engage to refute any really outrageous points. Not much you can do really except be mindful and if you see anyone particularly intent on screenshots/being a GF just report.

Best not to feed trolls but sometimes brilliant discussions follow a ploppers plop.
There are a lot more people reading here than writing. A LOT more.

Remember the lurkers.
