ITT: Troll on troll methods?

So, would like to hear your advices here, trolls and 4chan-meme experts alike.

There's this dude on another forum that's really annoying, like nearly 99% of the forum does not like him, but he posts daily anyways.

Ignored him for a long time but seeing other people feed him, man it just rubs me the wrong way. Think something gotta be done about thim. The moderation team isn't exactly helpful either.

He does things like corrections, being an ass, pointing out flaws, Obama hatred (posts a lot of news), pro-republican, he also recently just found the SportKa cat beheading video and thought those were funny and wanted to share with us. He's your average "intelligent" troll and beyond. But he isn't net-savvy like we are here (ie hasn't been exposed to 99% of meme's).

I've been using lolwuts, caution tinfoil hat, Joseph Ducreux messages, obvious troll is obvious for a few things to name and I think they work, because he gets quiet after that.

(re-edited title to be more precise)

Ignore him. You're always going to run into people that you don't like, and you may have to deal with them. If that forum has an ignore feature, use it. If it's annoying you that other people respond to him, then just stop going to the forum? Or ignore everybody? it sounds like you've made this guy a personal vendetta when it's really not justified or worth it.
 
The art of counter-trolling must not be spoken where it can be overheard. The protectors of the faithful act quietly and swiftly to serve justice.
 
Bahahahahahahahah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Oh sorry it's 2010.

Ummm... hahaha bahahahahahahahaha

I can't breath.

You need to buy a shotgun, kill all of your internet devices and GO OUTSIDE. You need to. Do it!!!!!! You will be rewarded with many red and valuable things ..... like here's one.... "it takes all kinds" - do what you want with that one. Just don't think too much in your current state of mind. If you wanted to make a REAL difference in the fight against Republicans, you should donate lots of money to the future Democratic candidate. It's proven that the candidate who spends the most on their campaign wins the election.
 
Start a fake account and pretend to be a woman (like Mosh). Post lots of insane libertarian tea bag shit. He will probably PM you at some point (if not, just wait until he says something off the wall and then PM him: 'oh, I KNOW! We should send all the Mexicans back to Africa!')

Build rapport with several PMs per week. Mention your boyfriend and how your relationship is a bit rocky right now. Rip off some pictures from Photobucket and include them. If he doesn't make some kind of advance, give it like 4-5 weeks and then send him a long emo PM about how you broke up last night, and you've been crying for the last 20 hours. Tell him how lonely you are.

At some point, arrange a meeting with him. Hopefully he is close, if not, you may have to coordinate this part with another forum member. Find some ham beast on OK Cupid and use her as the girl. Go to the meeting place undercover and be entertained with what unfolds. Take some discreet pics if possible.

Now, follow him home and note his address. Go on Craigslist and make a post about how all the stuff in his apartment is free. ('Oh, and I might have accidentally locked the door, don't worry about it, just break in').

Someone is sure to take his computer. Now he cannot troll you anymore.

That's beyond the depths of trollishness the OP even mentioned. I'm not judging here, but people like YOU ruin the internet. And the ham beast wanting a date....

It will solve his problem. It's people like YOU that sit around and let life happen to them. You have to be proactive and exert your will sometimes. Lead, follow, or get the fuck out of the way. I bet this guy will not think he's so funny anymore when he comes home after work and all his shit is gone.

And if the OP feels bad for the ham beast he is free to pick her up on the rebound and service her needs.

Yeah, but, its the internet. Who cares?

If this guy was beating him up and taking his lunch money, sure, take a baseball bat to his face. That is something worth doing something about.

Some guy posts something you dont agree with on the internet? And you cry about it? He isnt even singling you out, hes just posting to the world at large, and you really cant handle the fact that he could have different opinions and different social norms to you, so you get offended. WTF?

Kid, seriously, stop whining. He isnt sleeping with your mom or beating you up every day. Hes posting. On an internet forum. Sheesh.
