Well, you got trolled...

An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial, inflammatory, irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion.

Rule one... Don't Feed the Trolls.

Rule two... DON'T FEED THE TROLLS!

Rule three... See rules one & two.

What you did wrong is not realize you were being trolled and when you started to get upset, they went after you more.

You didn't find a hive of antisemitism within the gaian anime group. What you found were douche bags who like to push buttons. Why? Schadenfreude, that's why.

They can say whatever they want to you and get away with it, just because it pisses you off, they will say it more and more often.

How do I know this? Well lets just say I have seen the internet hate machine, I have been to the end boss of the internet. It's the soft white underbelly of the internet. All persons everywhere who hide themselves on the internet to combine to form one large hivemind of ideas to feed upon those that do not understand, they mock what should not be mocked and laugh at others misfortune under the guise of freedom of expression. I beat the monster by becoming the monster, I am still part of this monster, but still, I am better than it because I know how it works.

The monster's name is...

Gee, I can't imagine what rule I could have broken...

How can one tell what is trolling and what is antisemitism? neutral

I believe what started it off was Failed Biopsy saying

"Jewish Gaians Guild? Will you light up my Menorah in my room? Original. Impeach!"

you said... "Antisemitic much?"

and then FB put up a picture of hitler laughing and wrote Oopsie. "I listen to too much Jewish foreplay."

You said you reported them, they asked what they were doing that was bashing jews.

And then you started arguing about if Failed Biopsy was actually bashing Jews or just messing with you.

You called someone scum, they laughed, you said goodbye scum, they laughed that you called them scum twice.

The issue is that they weren't laughing at you for being Jewish, they were mocking you for being so overly sensitive about someone asking if the guild would light a menorah for them.

The best solution to that situation is to be more witty than the trolls, if you can't think of a witty retort, you ignore the person who said it and continue on with your life.

I mean, how offensive is this?

There are nazis in the picture, but is it actually offensive?

Oh and the caption reads as translated from German "Stop! Hammer-Time!"

That does make a great deal of sense. Thank you.

No offense, but you seem to have lost your head a bit in that argument... you were okay before you starting yelling insults.

As a general rule, throwing out insults is not really a good idea: it puts you in a bad light, and doesn't make a great impression for the Jewish community.

I run into anti-Semites in the GD practically daily, and I just ignore them. But then again, I don't advertise my Jewishness in my siggy, so it's not like I get attacked directly.

I've developed a habit (see Lumanny's scrupulosity posts) of jumping to the defense of Judaism at its very mention. Which, after a long night in the GD, leads to anti-semites/trolls PMing me the word: "JEW!!!"

What fun. I really must calm down.
