Agreed... the picture alone just makes me smile. ^_^"

Yeah; I've seen enough trolls, and dealt with them as well. The strategy described here is entirely the route to take. It's also a must to step in when someone else is feeding the troll, and ask them to stop. Sometimes when an entire community gets on the picket-fence to throw stones it can get even messier- so it's times like that to hope the community trusts your judgement and can learn by action, to stop. And that's been mostly what I have seen as well, when gently guided and explained, people tend to listen. For the most part.
