Correction: They throw themselves at everyone's killfile wall, and fall
on their faces. Then someone picks them up and tosses them over the wall.

The problem is not the trolls, but what you are doing in response, an
how you go about it.

Exactly. Without the fanbois replies, the trolls are gone. But that's far
too difficult a concept for fanbois to grasp. That's why I ignore trolls,
and love to tease the fanbois!

Gotcha! There's just no way anyone could just ignore their posts. Not
possible. They're just "thrown" at us. Like a big rock in our windshields!
Or a turd on our goggles. Like that. Definitely not like another line of
text amidst hundreds of others that we could just skip over as we look for
the good stuff. Gotcha!

Anyone can troll. By trying to get a rise out of those you consider
trolls, you are acting as a troll, too.

You are doing it wrong.
