• You shoot them in the head while they're still sleeping and then you go on a murderous rampage, silly.

• I stay OFF of Datalounge.

• Great training for that here on DL

• And on theater message boards.

• It goes on my resume as "passion for life"

• OP - A good starting point is to look at one's own behavior. Sometimes we are emotionally immature or we do things that sets off other people. Then, we can work out how to deal with the other person.

• I generally leave the room.

• R7 is right.

• This is a thread about the Streep Troll, isn't it?

• Avoid them.

• They usually just igmore me.

• OP, you have to be more specific about what the behavior is for us, so we know how to respond.

• Spank them.

• There's not much you can do other than to avoid topics and situations that upset them. A relative of mine was raised by an abusive alcoholic father and never matured emotionally beyond the level of a teenager (she's now in her 60s). She's more or less incapable of civilly disagreeing with opinions that are contrary to hers and is unnecessarily nasty over petty things. Thankfully I only have to see her a few times a year at this point.

• LOL! Well OP, I usually just laugh at them on this site.

• My sister (mid-60s) just yelled something loudly and slammed a door, at 2:15am in the house of our elderly mother. I don't think my mom was involved. I guess she was just thinking about something that pissed her off, but my God was that inappropriate. The bitch scares me. She is like a giant child.

• You can get a lot of practice dealing with them on this site.

• R17 your big sister is an elder abuser keep an eye out for her. Slamming doors is just some of the bullshit they do.

• ball-gag.

• I just stick my dick in the person's mouth so they'll shut the fuck up for awhile. No, I'm not picky, I don't care which gender they are or whether they spit or swallow.

• I try to get rid of the as best as possible. They are usually very selfish and a friendship with them is a one sided thing.

• Maturity is a myth old people tell children to justify their position of power in society. The fact that OP "fell for it" means that he is one of these immature chuckleheads of whom he is so dismissive.

• What about a 45 year old that still throws temper tantrums?

• R23 needs to put her glass pipe down for awhile.

• r42 Like the ban the "insert name" troll poster here?

• Punch. Delete.

• Such people make good teachers because they really connect with their law students.

• I worked for someone like that. I recall a day when she couldn't get someone into the e-time sheet app she screams at me like a five year old. I calmly explained that if she checked her email she would understand that the I.T. unit had to add the person in two databases, then HR which she handled, had to add them in a 3rd database so that they could then log their time. For that I got an apology from the Chief of Staff.

• An elderly (non-senile) woman I know sobs like a little girl when things don't go her way. She sometimes stamps her feet as well.

• anyone else?
