    About the only thing that can be done is "consider the source." Most are fools. So just don't get into a battle of wits with someone who is obviously unarmed.

    Report or ignore. I used to find some of the Colmes ones funny, but they digress from good debate.

    You must be referring to the cult of Alan Colmes bottom boys who invade this section nightly. Some of their S is funny but it is getting old.

    Report them if they breach the terms and conditions of the site.

    All you can really do is reportthem, because when they lose the account the questions disappear. As for the questions themselves don't answer.

    Try reporting them, or better yet, IGNORE them, since anytime you give them attention, you feed the troll.

    Lampoon them, severely and strictly. That'll teach them.
