How to Defeat the TROLLS Here

| HOW TO DEFEAT THE TROLLS
An Internet "troll" is a person who delights in sowing discord
on the Internet. He or she slanders others and seeks to cause
conflicts and upset people. Trolls are malicious, antisocial,
and often mentally ill. They crave attention, and care not
whether it is positive or negative. The Internet is a
convenient venue for their bizarre, misanthropic games - a
means to abuse others without fear of retaliation. Trolls are
cowards - lacking the courage to be overtly hostile towards
people, they hide behind their computers and the anonymity of
the Internet. The troll is a less intelligent version of the
malicious hacker or virus writer.
Trolls are impervious to meaningful dialogue. You CANNOT reason
with them and you CANNOT cause them to feel shame or
compassion. Trolls do not feel bound by rules of courtesy or
social responsibility. They are simply not playing with a full
deck. It is futile to try to "cure" a troll of his obsession.
Trolls are irrational and not accessible through any sane approach.
Established posters may leave a newsgroup/message board because
of troll-created conflicts, and lurkers (readers that do not
post) may not want to expose themselves to abuse and therefore
never speak up. Thus they unwisely allow the troll to violate
their rights of free speech and expression. The Internet is a
vital resource - and probably the last stand for free speech.
Being antisocial, trolls hate this and try to subvert it.
When you try to reason with a troll, he wins. When you curse at
a troll, he wins. If he succeeds in angering you, he's succeeded.
THE ONLY THING THE TROLL CAN'T HANDLE IS BEING IGNORED -
having NO EFFECT on his intended targets!
So the best way to deal with trolls is to IGNORE THEM and
occasionally (and ONLY occasionally) remind others not to
respond to them either.
Hard to ignore? You can set up your computer to AUTOMATICALLY
ignore the troll by using your KILLFILE. Just go to the
offensive message, and bring your pointer to the "MESSAGE" tab
near the top of your screen. Click, and a menu opens. Go to and
click on "BLOCK SENDER." You will no longer see any of the
sender's posts from that account. This is called "plonking" the troll.
Ignored, these children will have to find another game to play.

How about when the troll changes their account to defeat the killfile
filters? Like this:
http://groups.google.com/group/alt....01?dmode=source
What's your advice then, Mr. Wizard?

heh heh heh heh heh. First, for you to call me a troll is slander, so
I'll need to report you to your ISP. Second, if you can't handle a few
usenet "disruptions", then I'd be the least of your problems and you
should look more carefully at yourself. But I'll tell you what: I know it
disturbs you, so I'll cease doing it, just for you! How about that? Maybe
now you can stop whining

Disturbed. Yes - that's exactly how I would classify you if asked.
You're not mentally retarded, you're not incoherent, you're disturbed.
I hope you won't take it personally if I tell you that I don't believe
anything you write. Your track record is less than stellar.
You wrote this:
11. TRUTH Jan 12, 7:48 am
I started posting in the alt.building.* groups regarding controlled
demolition at the WTC, which is definitely on topic. (And this topic is
definitely not narrow interest, as you said.) Because of the extreme
importance of this matter, I will continue the posting. However, I will
limit it to controlled demolition topics only, and not other 9/11
issues.
I agree that those do not belong here.
....and then you ignored it. This is evidence of a compulsion. You
can't stop your behavior as you are not truly in control.
Then you posted this:
TRUTH Jan 13, 12:16 am

You could send this to them too: "RicodJour, you're a fucking idiot."
I can assure you, Verizon does not care if Truthful people bother you
assholes. If you think Verizon is gonna "boot" me you're out of your
silly
brainwashed mind
....and then you have the conveniently selective memory to write
something like this:
http://groups.google.com/group/alt....44?dmode=source
You described yourself and your actions perfectly.
This whole thing started with your silly 9/11 contention. I don't
doubt there are political machinations behind almost everything, but to
extrapolate that into hidden parties doing a controlled demolition at
the WTC is ludicrous. Engineers, architects and builders with many,
many decades of experience refuted your claim. Yet you ignore them as
they do not allow you to believe what you wish to believe. Isn't that
the definition of delusional?
I hope you find what you're looking for, because you do seem fairly
intelligent and everyone deserves some peace of mind. Good luck.

did you know tares and wheat grow together?
tares have shallow roots but they are widespread
if you root tares out, you take wheat with it
nothing like the feeling of kicking out a little bait, sitting back and
see who runs with it
the things people say
there is an untapped source of challenge in baiting and hooking
YOU have been hooked by a troll
what did you say? kick and scream?
and THAT YOU ARE DEAR

"Apollo 11 Moon Landings were faked by NASA"
"Barcodes are really intended to Control people"
"U.S. military caused the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami"
and

You simply keep killfiling him, and if justified file a complaint with his
ISP.
