You do NOT have to respond to everyone here. Your first responsibility is to yourself, to protect yourself. I have talked this over with my t and the moderators here. If something upsets you, stay away. Or tell yourself, yeah, I think they are a troll. You are entitled to your judgment. That is how you protect yourself from a con. Your parents should have taught you how to do this. Mine didn't! They would con me, fool me in order to control me, then laugh at me for falling for their tricks, and tell me that "strangers" were out to hurt me. But family seemed out to hurt me first! What could strangers do that family hadn't already done? What's worse, if strangers lie to you, or if family lies to you? Protect yourself first. Other people have the responsibility to take care of themselves. If you suspect a troll, you can report the thread to a moderator by using the triangle? But it might not be a troll - some people just have very different values.
