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.

Good grief. you guys are starting to read like a chapter in alice

Trolls are god's gift to us and I, for one, intend to cherish and
nurture them.
If I had no life, I would also. Fortunately, I have better things

Apparently not!

Well, I didn't realize you were a troll ... until just now!

Bertie has his troll moments and he has his serious moments. I find
Bertie a regular guy who doesn't suffer fools very long.

No one knows exactly who he is or where he's from, but my experience
with him has been that he not only knows his way around a cockpit but
can be a friend to those who just leave him alone on the troll issue
and
deal with him seriously on flying and aviation issues.


Pretty much the way it is. I have often posted ( and still do
occasionally) under a different 'nym for serious stuff, but have
admittedly gotten lazy about that lately.
