Ignore the trolls.... just ignore them....
A troll just posted some total, vitriolic crap in another thread and was booted in about 2 minutes... but not before he got 15 responses!!! Some people were even trying to reason with him/her!!

Just alert, ignore, and pretend like they were never there. Don't let them sidetrack real discussions.

2. And remmeber,
the closer we get to November, the worse it's gonna get here. The pod people do NOT have anything else to run on except fear and intimidation. They're backing a weak, unelected president. They've got no choice but pull out all the stops.

My only hope is that their zealotry will help implode the repug party.

Good day, trolls. Were always hungry.

7. The problem is - it's getting harder to tell "them" from "us"

9. Unless
the troll is asking you three questions, which you must answer correctly before you may cross the Bridge of Death.

Then you should respond.

11. I agree...
... but it is so damn hard to not respond. :)

Since this is aimed at no-one in particular (banned trolls to be specific) I will take out my frustration with them here...


Oh is that so? What kindergarten did you flunk out of? If you were any stupider you couldn't find your own ass with both hands and a map.

Not only is what you are saying pure drivel, wipe the dribble off your chin. If it gets into your keyboard, you won't be able to show the world what a pus-brained moron you are. And I know that would make you sad.

I'm sorry that Bush* turned out to be such a failure on every level. I didn't vote for him - did you? Well see, this whole fucked situation is your fault. You should be ashamed. Didn't your momma teach you anything?

Now go away. The things you read here take a level of intelligence and understanding that you apparently don't possess. Go play in a sandbox where you can have some mastery over your domain.

16. Remeber: WWCPD
What Would Comer Perro Do ?

And, the answer is:

Add a serious response to the conversation, hit alert on the troll post, and then flame the shit out of him just for laughs and fun.

18. With Trolls, remember how the Three Billy Goats Gruff handled a nasty one
link: http://www.pitt.edu/~dash/type0122e.html

<snip>
But just then up came the big Billy Goat Gruff.

Trip, trap, trip, trap, trip, trap! went the bridge, for the billy goat was so heavy that the bridge creaked and groaned under him.

"Who's that tramping over my bridge?" roared the troll.

"It's I! The big Billy Goat Gruff ," said the billy goat, who had an ugly hoarse voice of his own.

"Now I 'm coming to gobble you up," roared the troll.

Well, come along! I've got two spears,
And I'll poke your eyeballs out at your ears;
I've got besides two curling-stones,
And I'll crush you to bits, body and bones.

That was what the big billy goat said. And then he flew at the troll, and poked his eyes out with his horns, and crushed him to bits, body and bones, and tossed him out into the cascade, and after that he went up to the hillside. There the billy goats got so fat they were scarcely able to walk home again. And if the fat hasn't fallen off them, why, they're still fat; and so,

Snip, snap, snout.
This tale's told out.
</snip>

Think there's a moral here?

19. Nah, sometimes ya just gotta thump on 'em.
Many are of the firm belief that their lines of "reasoning" are irrefutable, and they need to be set straight. They also need to know that we're sick of them and we can and will fight.

It's also fun.

Remember that line in "Witness" where the farmer tries to dissuade John Book from resorting to physical violence by saying "It's not our way." His response is "No, but it's mine." I hope it's not too annoying, but just like Foghorn Leghorn, I just have to wail away on the Dog's butt with that board every so often.
