Troll-bashing: Productive or not?
I've come to think that it's not. I believe the best antidote for trolls is to refrain from responding. A troll posts messages just to get people to respond, so making angry/argumentative/insulting responses is just going to encourage him.

Of course, maybe you want that. In the case of Xunil, it helps validate your notion that all Linux users are mindless, fanatical idiots. So if that's your motive, then responding to this guy would be to your advantage!

Actually, just don't bother. happy
