1) Tell everyone the Trolls don't bother you.
2) Say you've killfiled them, yet continue to respond.
3) Tell other people off who repsond despite doing so yourself.
4) Continually talk about Trolls while maintaining
they're having no effect.
5) Publicly post killfile rules so the Trolls know
how to avoid them.
6) Make lame legal threats and other barrel scraping
manoeuvres when your abuse reports are ignored.
7) Eat vast quantities of pies.
8) Forget to brush your teeth for several decades.
9) Help a demon.local poster with their email while
secretly reading it.
10) Pretend you're a hard ******* when in fact you're
as bent as a roundabout.

will have a penis the girls can see.

Hi to everyone,

this by Ivanna Humpalot written email is a very good summary, but I
would like to add something:

I can recommend a so called slug fence, this can stay for many years
in your garden. It is a galvanized metal strips (and corner pieces)
which prevent slugs from entering your vegetable patch (or flower
bed), so you don't need beer pots (or slug pellets) or you don't need
to collect the slugs in this part of your garden.

There is a website www.slugfence.com about that product.

I tested this in my garden and it helps ...!

Obviously this method would slowly starve the slugs to death instead of a
quick death (or even a merry alchoholic death)
