To Rob - it's not turning the other cheek. Trolls only post to get a reaction - the fundamental truth is that it's pure attention seeking, how ever it's dressed up on the surface.
Ignore them - totally - and they don't get they want, they very rapidly get bored, and bugger off :-)

Keep in mind, however, that this is probably the rudest possible thing you can do. It's really important to apply this only to the very worst of trolls.
I *really * don't care about pissing off trolls, minor or major. We're here to write an encyclopaedia, nothing more.
