and tell them to STFU
Quoting: Ralph--a house dog No. That is the last thing you should do. Shills not only spin the truth, or mix in lies to twist it - they also (and that is the main goal of them), create a negative atmosphere and implement a conversation culture were insults are accepted and common. And they WANT you to tell them to STFU. Because it distracts you and angers you, and turns you unknowingly into one of their minions. Then you go on and insult them, and since you face them daily, your mood decreases and you become more and more cynic, etc.
Ignore them. Learn their rules, spot them, and then ignore them when you face them. Do not invest energy.
Basically there is only one rule that identifies shills and disinfo agents: If what someones says, gives you nothing - doesn't make you feel better, doesn't make you smarter, doesn't increase your awareness, doesn't entertain you in a heartly way (spoiled sarcasm is a very low form of humor, and does more damage in the long run, then it gives you pleasure in the moment) - then that person is either a disino or a shill or an idiot (that shouldn't feel welcomed as well).
A Shill can be easliy defined as anyone who disaggres with your opinion
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 1310035 Disguised as rational argument, yet basic shill propaganda, that justifies the daily nonsenical chats to have no substance and lead to nothing. And were never meant to lead to conclusion, but only to duality and negative emotions. They also refer to calling someone a "fucking cunt" being a legitimate opinion.
