Even if someone is offensive, we don't have to show that we have taken offense especially if this person's goal was to offend. Why would we want to let him/her win like that, amirite?
I've found that if you react to a troll at all they think that they've trolled you, even if your reaction is to logically and calmly point out why they're wrong.
Well, when I'm offended I kinda have to react... Like if I get hit I'm probably going to say ow or something.
I was thinking of how trolls throw out some really out there things to get a rise out of people
if we show offense there,
we just give them what they want
this post isn't inclusive to all situations

so ignore them?
Oh yeah, on the internet you can hold back reactions, but in real life I can't control it as much.
when I get offended in real life
my face can still remain meh
especially if the offender is a stranger or even someone I'm not very close to
I can't stand confrontations so I usually just swallow the offense/anger before I say something illogical/vicious
My one friend is purposely annoying to get a rise out of people. I've learned to just say "okay" and move on
my cousin does this to me and is successful most of the time
