From the forum FAQ, ‘Dealing with Flamers and Trolls’ section...

”I've said it before, and I'm sure I'll say it many times more: the best way to deal with both flamers and trolls is to ignore them. Give them silence, and they'll go away. They feed on attention - don't give it to them.”

Unless and until everyone gets that into their fact-resistant heads, threads like this will continue to be heavily-, sometimes clumsily, -moderated by volunteer Mods who already have a heavy workload.
