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 in
wonerland.

Trolls are god's gift to us and I, for one, intend to cherish and nurture
them.


Care for your trolls and the rewards are great.

If I had no life, I would also. Fortunately, I have better things to do

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.

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.

Suggesting people ignore a troll (which is my well known stance on the
issue BTW) is NOT as you say "pooh-poohing" the whole idea of kill
filing a troll. It merely means that ignoring a troll is a more
PREFERRED METHOD of handling the situation as opposed to kill filing people.
If kill filing is your thing, be my guest! I certainly have no objection.
PLEASE....begin with me!
