A troll is basically one who posts messages intended to insult and provoke per fas et nefas (see [Trolls and Schopenhauer] below).
For each person who responds, the poster (the troll as a person) will consider that person "caught". The troll (the troll as an action) is considered to have been a complete success if it disrupts beyond repair the normal traffic on a newsgroup or on a messageboard. In extreme cases, trolls are posted by groups of trollers and crossposted to unrelated newsgroups in an attempt to destroy those groups by flooding them with flames and off-topic ranting.
Usually the best method when dealing with trolls is always the same: NEVER ANSWER TO THEIR POSTINGS! ("Please do not feed the troll")
The whole point of trolling is to have you react. So do not react! It's as simple as that, duh. That is something that enrages trolls (disqualify them: other lurking trolls will take note of their failure and they know - and fear - it).
By not reacting, you have completely defeated their purpose in life. In other words, the troll sees his self-worth in how much of a reaction he can inspire - ignore him: it's your best weapon.
Should you, my advices notwithstanding, answer a troll, then calm down! Do not read any of the troll's responses to you. He is just trying to draw you further into its lair. Once more: NEVER ANSWER TO THEIR POSTINGS!
Once more, 5 easy rules:
(1) Don't read posts from or about trolls;
(2) Don't read email from or about trolls;
(3) If you can't resist reading, don't respond;
(4) If you can't resist responding, do so by email, not by posting on a public forum;
(5) If you are compelled to post a response, if you just can't stop yourself, at least do the rest of the readers the favor of adding the troll's nick to the subject line, so they can avoid reading that post.

Silloin, kun tuollaisella häiriköllä värähtelee edes kerran minuutissa korvien välissä, voi tuo tapa olla piittaamatta tehota. Tällä palstalla viime aikoina olleilla örkeillä sen sijaan on luultavasti vaikeuksia suoriutua edes jokapäiväisistä perustarpeista, joten se siitä.
Kertomallasi tekniikalla on myös se vaara, että uusi kirkasotsainen keskustelija, joka tänne tullessaan heittää läppää, jotta saisi hyväksyntää osakseen, huomaakin, että kantapeikot vaan häärivät omissa kuppikunnissaan ja keskustelevat henkeviä.
*kukaan ei koskaan kuuntele. snif. snif. *
Kyllähän se nopeasti näkyy läpi, kuka haluaa oikeasti keskustella(sitäkö tämä täällä on:-) ja kuka on tullut itsetuntotripille. Katsotaan kortit ja tarvittaessa vaietaan kuoliaaksi. Ei yrittänyttä laiteta, paitti pornoleffassa...
