I have no problem swatting a few flies here, who can't post anything cognizant nor defend anything they post. But the ones who enjoy arguing ... yeah, that's worthless.

I too prefer not to feed trolls, but I think the best response is the misdirect response. Rather than address what they're trolling about, totally change the subject to something mundane. Or mention billy goats. I think that also helps other people realize what they're doing.
