Have you ever followed a link to the source article and found a dedicated troll attempting to disrupt the thread? My suggestion is this, ask the respondents to please refrain from commenting back. If you ignore the progressive anus, they tend to go away so as I like to post just beneath the spouting rectum`s written diarrhea: DON`T FEED THE TROLLS. Maybe some will get the hint!
On left wing sites, it is easy to become a “troll”, or at least completely hijack any thread. All ya gotta do is somehow regardless of what the topic of the thread is, somehow bring Sarah Palin’s name into it. No matter the topic, the entire conversation becomes about Sarah Palin every single time without exception.
“My pascal bled into my c+!”
My favorite response is to simply post below their most current response, DON`T FEED THE TROLLS. It has helped to slow or reduce responses, and even eliminate them, thereby chasing away less dedicated trolls.
Alright, you win.
Yelling troll back and forth is a troll tactic. In fact calling a troll a troll is feeding the troll.
Worrying that a troll is ruining the thread is also feeding the troll because part of what they are trying to do is get into your head.
I have no idea what I won, so this toaster over here and I will be taking a walk.
/ kidding.
Third shift is boring tonight.
Absolutely nothing going on here at the moment.
How about over your way?
Yeah.
But not as arrogant as windows updater turning automatic updates on all by itself.
About to go to bed, have the day off tomorrow.
I`m not actually trying to communicate with the troll in question but with any potential respondents who just finished reading that trolls response.
I gotta sit here and watch a bunch of trucks.
Wheeeee.
Rest well, see everyone tomorrow-ish.
So I'm trolling. What's the big deal?
Question? As disgusting as “progressive” trolls are, wouldn’t those you are talking about be more aptly called a Borg? They are part of one collective mind- they have not one original thought or idea between them. They lack most, if not all human ethics and virtues. They are arrogant and witless enough to state dogma that boils down to-All resistance is futile! You will be absorbed!
And so on... They are mindless drones that cannot function without explicit directions. At least trolls can function on their own.

Thank-you!
We all need to put trolls on mental ignore and not feed them!
True.
For me its especially fun then on the Southern history threads. :-)
True, and once in a blue moon they can give us a useful perspective on an issue. It is helpful to know your enemy.
Your mother wears army boots.
In Russia you don’t say “Your mother wears army boots.”
[pause]
Because she does.
[pause]
And she will hurt you.
