Nick, when you engage a troll they exist. This basement dweller will go somewhere else as soon as everyone here ignores him. Trolls are nothing. Without recognition they don't exist. You can't challenge an empty void with reason. You challenge ignorance with ignore-ance. It's the core idea of the word. Ignore stupidity. If you engage it as if it were a rational, thinking being, you lose.
Rule #1, Don't lose money. Rule #2, read rule #1. - WB.
