RE: What To Do?

I agree with you on the business of not banning them, a la Amy Alkon.
As for personally ignoring them? Seems much more reasonable. However, I’d only do it without the use of some automated system that would block their comments. After all, even a stopped clock is right two times a day…..unless it’s a 24-hour formated clock.
However, I do take exception to the concept of ‘trolls’. Even trolls have a voice. Look at FP. But I would not condemn him/her/he/she/it to ultimate marginalization. Rather, I’d just skim over the blather and, if appropriate, reply; now and then.
The web affords us all of these options. It’s up to us as to which we will adopt. And therein lies the proverbial rub.
