On Trolls:

"Shlomi suggests that the often-suggested method of ignoring the trolls
(often referred to as "don't feed the trolls") is not the way to go.
Neither is criticism, calling for banning, or asking a troll to simply stop
trolling. So what *should* you do? Ask questions to clarify (e.g *"Why do
you feel that Python is so bad? What do you find wrong with it?"*), and
kill with kindness (e.g. *"It's OK to prefer Perl, we'll still accept you
here."*). As frustrating as it may be to be nice to someone who isn't,
sometimes people just want to be heard and accepted."
