Is this trolling on my part?

[Belacqua]

So theres a particular poster here who keeps bringing up my name in posts to say nasty or untrue things about me. This person and I aren't having a discussion or anything, he makes these posts about me to other people, and just brings up my name even when the discussion he is responding to isn't even about me.

I've had this happen to me on another forum. There were some people who were so upset with me that it was almost insane -- for example, typhoon rains caused mudslides which killed 80 of my neighbors, and my online "enemies" took this as an opportunity to make jokes and nasty comments. People act this way.

It's a challenge and a chance for you to rise above. Always take the high road. Always respond with the truth, if a response is even necessary. If there's a lie, you can say unemotionally what the truth really is. They will probably respond with more lies, but there's nothing to be done about that. They are liars. They are like the people who fart in elevators -- disgusting, inconsiderate, but no reflection on you. You have to endure it and then walk away. 

You can make use of the forum tools, cooly responding, cooly asking for moderation if they break the rules. If it gets to be too much, walk away -- it's not worth losing your cool over. They want to see you lose it so they can make you feel worse. 

In the long run you will look back and feel pleased if you behave as the mature and honest person in the exchange.
