Ruby VS The Troll

Dear Troll,

I'm throwing in the towel. 

I've spent the last few weeks trying to lure you into meeting me but no nibbles. Instead, though, I've learned a lot about you from some wonderful people and what I've learned is simple.

Sure you may operate in a virtual world with few if any immediate consequences but, my dear troll, the tide is turning and I'm optimistic the millions of good and decent people online will soon eclipse you and the hate you spread.  

I've also learned that while being mean online may simply give you pleasure, its also likely that you're struggling with your own issues or trauma and if that's the case, I'm sorry for you, really I am. 

However, my dear troll, I'm not going to spend my time and energy trying to shine a light on you anymore. 

Instead I'm going to take that energy and use it in a much, more positive way.

I'm going to focus on sharing what I've learned about you with some pretty awesome people, and teach them how to safeguard themselves against you.

(I'm going to focus on sharing what I've learned about you the best way I know how and teach people how to safeguard themselves against you.)

So, my dear troll, that's me signing off. 

Yours in positivity, 

Ruby
