Gee - its so nice of you to visit here. You are just
the ticket - a person in self denial for his actual
love of Harry Potter. All your ranting cannot hide
that fact. You came here because you aspire to be
more like him - maybe even be his friend. That you
resent his celebrity is just part of the process.
Eventually you will come to realise that you can
admit liking him - and be more like him. I am sure
all here will do eveerything in our power to help
with your transition.

18. Anti-Trolls
Don’t feed the trolls (i.e.
take the bait).
If there is a troll
infestation, admin and troll
spray may be required.
If you have been trolled in
good fun, laugh, and admit….
YOU HAVE BEEN TROLLED!
If you cannot handle trolls…
do not read their posts. If you cannot avoid reading, do not respond. If you cannot avoid response, do so in a private email. If you can&#x2019;t avoid that, and they&#x2019;re still bothering you, get off the internet. Go hide out under a bridge, where you&#x2019;ll be &#x2026; oh, wait&#x2026;
