Trolls don’t just lurk under bridges any more. They post on FB pages, Twitter, and the comments section of online publications. And when they do, you may find yourself triggered or wanting to just ignore what’s happening. But when it’s your organization’s brand and reputation on the line, your volunteers, donors, staff, and clients may also see these comments. How do you respond in a way that addresses the content of trolls’ remarks without stooping to their level? Come find out!
