WARREN: You can't read these words and tell me what those words say?!

If you see our reply from a troll under one of your posts, it is both helpful and important to:

1) Block them
2) Click on the three little dots below their post and click “hide for everyone”

Engaging with trolls in any way encourages them to stay here and be more active. Give them no oxygen.
