It'd be nice to see a technical solution to this that won't disrupt authentic posting. Until then, I think the best solution is to ridicule them, so we show newbies what we're about and what we aren't about.

My man: Let's rain some hell on their sorry asses. We outnumber them 10:1 ! So according to sun tzi attack is justifiable and has good chances.

We don't even need to leave this site. Purifying should come from the inside, otherwise it is rather obtuse or imposed.

    It's the eye that should be at the top.

    On a serious note: I'm not advocating for ridiculing to be used to disrupt debate. But it's a good way of replying to trolls.

      Ridiculing somebody's opinion can be done smartly and tastefully. It doesn't have to be "name-calling" or "using ridicule", it can be done through simple logical refutation. It is usually the most effective method anyway. I enjoy it a lot.
