The only real fun thing you can do with trolls is provoke them into getting
more agitated than they make you, once you're writing one word / liner
replies and getting novels full of exclamation marks you know you're onto a
winner.

Oliver,
Sure I will do it.......but there is some hesitation.....this person would
like a flame war and attention.....if you look at the comments on any
youtube video it is 12 year olds gone wild. Almost wouldn't want to give
this cretin the satisfaction that he is getting
attention, you know? You can set the controls to you being able to approve
comments...what about that?
