Within Google Groups? (As was clearly stated). Pray tell, show how.

FWIW, there's two surefire ways to get rid of a troll.

The first is to starve them of any attention.

I was the first to suggest this with Snit... and virtually no one
listened... and I'm pretty sure they still aren't open to this first way.
So be it.

Thus denied, they will
spiral down, debasing themselves to the Nth degree for the reward of a
reply ... any reply, no matter how devastating it is ... for all they
want is to receive the reward of attention, for that is an
acknowledgment of their miserable existence. They raise themselves up
merely by putting down others, so they will shout louder and louder
for attention, with name calling, and ever-increasingly bigger lies,
which progressively discredits everything that they have ever
said...even the good stuff that they might have once contributed.

There is no rehabilitation; they're incapable of change because their
frail ego tells them to believe that they are superior than others,
who they will call morons, losers, liars, etc, which are actually
confessions. This behavior will persist until their death, unless
their family chooses to intercede and literally take their computer
away from them. Even then, they'll try to "sneak a fix" at Internet
Kiosks, etc, as it has all become an addition that has clearly gotten
the better of them.

Online, they'll be remembered as a 'kook' for a few brief years (at
most) before their existence is essentially forgotten, for the
reality is that they merely tore down what others had built up, and
didn't build anything of their own.


Wow... you're deep;)

So what's the second way?
