I don't really care if it stops or not, but how exactly am I contributing? Just curious.

And really, that advice only works in theory. Not once in around 15 years of visiting and moderating forums have I ever seen it actually work. If "troll warriors" don't bump the threads, the troll/attention-seeker will.

The only thing I've ever seen work is repetitive nuking. Ultimately a troublemaker will move on.
You have been visiting and moderating forums for around 15 years? With what? Gopher? And you have THAT advice to give? I am a bit sceptical of that.

You bumped the thread, didn't you?

I was using the internet for US department of defense purposes in the late 80s to early 90s before the web was rolled out. AOL and Compuserve also predate the web as we know it; I was an AOL moderator and heavy Compuserve user way, way back. Also used bulletin boards in the good old days.

And I'm curious as to why you don't understand the truth and value in what I said. Maybe missing the irony explains it, though.

And? How would I communicate the information I had? Start a new thread?

Because IMHO there is none. As I said I have never seen a flame war ending up in the troll going away and I have been into Newsgroups (moderated and non moderated) since 92.

Thus the term "don't feed the troll"

Yorg, do you understand what irony is?

Ok. You're missing the point, but I'm not going to argue with you. That would just be more ironic. ;)

Be more annoying than him, so he'll move on to somewhere else where he can be top dog?
