But we'd miss out on all of the worthy trolls!

Well, basically the best policies are to let the more-lame of the trolls
starve and wither away. But occasionally some trolls simply must be hammered
into the point of either submission or automation. Joe the Troll was one such,
and "Travid" is another. If you come back with something sensible, he just
goes away or comes-back with a peurile one-liner, and if you just toss
one-liners at him and he floods the group with copyrighted AP feed. I prefer
to try to either boggle the bad perl-script and make a live human type back,
or to coax the live human into passable rhetoric, if not acceptable logic or
political centrism.

Nah. I don't get out much and bars cost too much anyway. And there's never any
parking. Plus that damned fake fog does things to my sinuses.
