  The only real fun thing you can do with trolls is provoke them into getting more agitated than they make you, once you're writing one word / liner replies and getting novels full of exclamation marks you know you're onto a winner.

  Oliver, 
  Sure I will do it.......but there is some hesitation.....this person would like a flame war and attention.....if you look at the comments on any youtube video it is 12 year olds gone wild.  Almost wouldn't want to give this cretin the satisfaction that he is getting
  attention, you know?  You can set the controls to you being able to approve comments...what about that?
