Trolls are a fact of life on Usenet. Trying to control a troll by trying
to control how others deal with that troll is a fruitless venture
destined to failure as in many cases the person attempting this control
on the forum innocently becomes a troll themselves.


Surrender plays into the troll's hands and thus is one of the worst
ways to respond to a troll.


I disagree. The goal of a troll is to suck you in to useless discourse.
Ignoring them is what will frustrate them the most and most likely
cause them to get bored and troll elsewhere.


For the record: ignoring is NOT surrender. Surrender is when you
don't even try to ignore the troll, and even worse pooh-pooh the
whole idea of killfiling the troll.
