The problem with trolling often is you ruin all credibility you have, and there is no reason for anybody to believe you. You did this to yourself, and now you are reaping the rewards.

This isnt true. Just because someone is sarcastic on the boards doesnt mean they dont have a wealth of knowledge and operate at a very high level in the game. Also, just because they are picking on someone one moment doesnt mean they aren't speaking truth the other.
Ad hominem is a logical fallacy. You discredit the person over the logic to defeat it (or drown it with noise). If you are intellectually honest and the biggest troll posts something actually inciteful the best thing you can do is stop, think, and pay credit where credit is due. That's how you can actually earn respect from others during the moment.
