You could join me in a secret conspiracy to get a troll's WX account revoked. I just had my fill with the insult to TonjaJ and sent off a Terms of Service complaint to the sysop with the personal attacks in the Brokeback Mountain thread held up as examples.
Oh, I'm gonna go to the special hell.

I might join you, Matt--that troll is starting to take over the entire Ovies thread, and it's getting really annoying.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Oh. Oh, that's tempting.
And what a shock that your troll is the same as my troll.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Oh, I need to go look!

Neat. BigBoss just brought in one of those fancy-schmancy pod espresso makers for the kitchen.

I don't know how reactive the WX handlers are to this kind of complaint, but four has gotta count for more than one if you guys would care to join in.
Note that I got a bounceback when writing to the support@ address listed, but a subsequent one to sysop@worldcrossing.com seemed to go through fine.

I was really hoping that the "needle him until he flounced off" strategy would work, but no luck on that, any more than the "just pretend he's not there" strategy.

This troll specifically thrives on negative attention, like a spoiled two-year-old throwing a tantrum. Total relentless shunning would work fine eventually if we could get across-the forum cooperation, but I don't think it's feasible with all the personalities involved.

But he's abandoned forums before--what made him do so then?
