Yes.

That is probably the best way to go about things, being repeatedly trolled has its benefits. It teaches you how to stop giving a fuck about what people say. After spending some time in the community you learn to roll with the punches, and care less about those annoying people out to get there own jollies off of insulting others.

The get trolled "technique" worked for me, I used to rage or stuff like that, now I just stay calm, not trying to, just normally.

Mostly thanks to Chac.
