"Shunning" has historically proven to be one of the harshest and most effective ways to reduce someone's status within a community. If you ignore that person on IRC, block them on Twitter, don't mention or reference that person in your blog posts or comments, etc, then that's your vote against them. If everyone did this, the true "trolls" would be long gone, but by invoking their names over and over, they remain potent and will gleefully watch their detractors wasting time on them. |

This is also why I quickly realized that my troll list initiative was seriously misguided. And why I now vow to never again mention a troll by name ;-)
