Ask HN: What’s the origin of the phrase “Don’t feed the trolls?”

It’s one of the best things that’s ever come out of the internet. But where was it first stated and how did it propagate through communities to become common wisdom?

From what I can tell, it seems to come from an Oscar Wilde quote. But I’m curious about where and how it was first applied to online discourse?
