Some continuously feed without exposing their behaviour. This is
bad. Reply is not necessarily feeding, particularly if it makes
them look bad. I mean bad by exposing the truth. This is why
that when I provide a reply to a troll, it is linked so the
reader can research for themselves, and see what hideous persona
these trolls are.

Yes, there are a few. However, what is interesting is how they
support each other, continue the thread in the absence of advocates.

There has to be a monetary security reason as to why they troll
in this newsgroup. And you are right, the only purpose served is
for disruption. When a positive Linux thread is developing, they
start their moronic ad hominem non-sense.
Worst of these offenders are Flatfish, Snit, Hadron, DFS in that
order.
To increase advocate frustration levels, sock Clogwog with other
pseudo Dutch nyms puts on his wooden shoes, then assails in
Dutch, poorly written Dutch. The only thing coming out is potty
mouthed language, which reveals an intellectually challenged person.
In light of trolling up because it is the Eve of Windows 7, these
all fit the mould of:
'Use ... the Internet, etc. to heighten the impression that the
enemy is desperate, demoralized, defeated, ... associated with
mental deficiency, as in, "he believes in Santa Claus, the Easter
Bunny". Just keep rubbing it in, via the ... newsgroups, ... make
the complete failure of the competition's technology part of the
mythology of the computer industry.'
