How about nobody (incl. JR and Alan, but a few others (and me)) not
reply at all to the trolls for the entire month of August.

I know you to be one of the better posters here. Replying to Arlen just
adds to the crap though. And there’s way too much of that. Pretty much why
I can’t be bothered to waste my time here any more as it is mostly Arlen
jerking himself in public. Starve the trolls by siege.

Show me a case where it as EVER worked.
