The best way to deal with trolls is to ignore them.

I got caught by the idea of a Klingon warrior on anti-depressants. What a concept. I hope to see it used in a Star Trek movie in the future.

I agree with your taxonomy, although further research could be done to add to the sub-categories. The question I have is, once identified, how do you choose to deal with them? Ruthless deletion of comments? IP blocking? Editing of their comments to make them appear deranged? Ignoring them does not work, I delete, but it’s not a big problem for me since I get about 2 comments a week.

“Dixie, you are awesome!”

Why, thank you. And I wondered how three years of Spanish would help me in life. (chuckle)

“Of course that’s ok, I’ve never been to Latin America anyway! ; ]”

Eres casi tan malo como él, pero eres divertido. Eso, y que no se quede a sí mismo en círculos.

Sí, yo hablo un poco de español.

Jeepers Dixie, I haven’t touched Latin (besides scientific latin which I’m fine with) since High School, and IIRC I averaged a solid C on it.

Of course that’s ok, I’ve never been to Latin America anyway! ; ]

“Maybe you can next work on adding something to the conversation, or silently reading and attempting to learn next?”

Next time, Weer’d, say it in Latin. Qui non intelligit aut discat aut taceat.

Quidquid latine dictum sit, altum sonatur.

So you admit you’re a troll. There’s a first step.

Maybe you can next work on adding something to the conversation, or silently reading and attempting to learn next?

Pardon me if I don’t have much faith in you, Mikey.

Sebastian, I resemble those remarks.

“The Old Warrior. The Old Warrior has been there and done that. He has little time to spare for those who have not been there and done that.”

i don’t think i will ever be caught by this guy again. I’ve met a REAL “Old Warrior,” and the difference is striking. It’s an involved story, but the short form is, a WWII vet of multiple combat jumps, blinded after being shot in the head in Holland, made me feel like a real warrior. He was convinced that if he and his friends could do the impossible then, my buddies and I could do the same today. I’m not sure I could have, but I’ll be damned if I let the old guy down.
