Don't feed the trolls should be taken as "do not give them what they want" not "do not speak to them"

Respond with a well thought out, disconnected, and good argument. Do not resort to name calling, bigot calling, etc. Just state a position and back it up. A troll isn't going to get much out of it unless they aren't a troll at all and are honestly trying to debate a point, and in that case keep on with the debating and the keeping honest and disconnected.
