"Unfortunately, there is only ONE sure way to beat a TROLL ...

and that is to IGNORE them ... [even this post is a little too much attention]

If [they] can get even a single person to respond to [them], [they] will be happy ...

... bypass their posts ... don't even read them, REGARDLESS of what you see in the subject heading!"

Calling these people out on the board just makes them do it more. If enough people JOIN IN by doing absolutely nothing, eventually they will get bored and stop !!!

DO NOT FEED THE TROLLS (or the generally rude and inappropriate).

Pity the Troll, but do not feed.
