Every blogger I know has had to deal with this. There’s always that one troll who obviously hates your blog, but keeps reading it anyway, and commenting negatively on everything you write. Here’s a post I wrote about that. (My own hate-stalker disappeared for the most part, but still shows up on occasion to remind me they are still there, watching and judging).
This is going to be a pretty short post. Someone who I won’t name had been commenting frequently on my political posts, and their views are almost the polar opposite of mine. I can’t say this person is exactly a troll, because their comments weren’t offensive or abusive enough to qualify as troll comments, but their views were certainly at odds with mine and he/she wasn’t always very nice about it either.
I asked this person why they were reading my blog since what I have to say seemed to anger them so much, but got no reply. He/she would be silent for a few days, and then make another negative comment.
Now I get that not everyone is going to agree with me, and I don’t expect them to. I wouldn’t even want everyone to agree with me 100% of the time, because that’s boring. Healthy debate is…

Wow, I have been dealing with this the last few days with a person who thinks they have hidden their real view but it comes out in every comment. Best wishes. Hugs

Good luck to you with your stalker! Probably the best advice is to ignore them, eventually they may get bored and leave. If they are really abusive, you can always ban them through blocking their IP address (I’ve never resorted to that).

Indeed! Reward good behaviours and ignore bad ones.

As far as I can tell, the troll brigade that kept checking up on my blog/Twitter has dropped off the face of the earth. Their usual target posted a while back that he got them all kicked off Twitter; maybe that’s why. But my original hate-stalkers (used to be “friends” in real life) still show up about once a month or so. I just can’t figure out why, because it’s been 6 1/2 years now.

I don’t read the comments on my Twitter feed. I used to have lots of problems with trolls on Facebook & I had to block dozens of people. I’ve had a few negative remarks on WordPress but nobody’s ever trolled me. Thank you whoever for that.

There’s a way to disallow comments on your WP blog (it doesn’t sound like you want to do that though), but I don’t think you can do that on Twitter. You can block people though. I’ve blocked many, since on Twitter I focus on antiTrump politics and get trolled a lot by Trump supporters.
