Ignoring doesn't make it go away because the trolls carefully cross-post
to several relevant groups and several irrelevant ones. People in the
relevant groups reply without deleting the irrelevant groups and we get
more copies of the same crap.

The solution is to reply immediately to these posts -- just add a word
or two -- and delete the irrelevant groups. Let the people who care
about the topic, however inane, fight it out on their own turf.

Wow, you are just MADE of stupid, aren't you?

"Genetically altering" a thread with removed x-headers = Good
Replying directly to it = Bad

If you have something to say, say it only to the group or verifiably innocent members...Mainly, as part of the act of snubbing the troll's existence as if he was never there, seeing as you never, EVER, talk to a troll directly, first-to-second person--
I mean, what, are you honestly *hoping* he'll respond and say something else? 0_o?
