While I applaud drumming out a troll, I don’t mind that he wasn’t ignored (at least for a while).
Meeting a crazy person/anoying person/young earth creationist/troll gives you the chance to practice Bayesian Judo. There have been times when I wish I’d dedicated more practice to countering ridiculous but verbose interlopers.
Edit: Looks like Jack said this earlier and better.

But it’s not Bayesian Judo: you can’t argue with a rock, a person whose intent is to ignore what you say.
Fair point. Perhaps it’s arguing with the keeper of the box?
