Well here's the thing.

You can either:

A) Be like this dude is an asshole and a troll, and then working on that assumption flame the shit out of him.

B) Be like this dude is an asshole and a troll, and then working on that assumption ignore the shit out of him.

Here's the problem--if you do A and are correct, you are doing exactly what he wants, and a troll getting what he wants never leaves. If you do A and are NOT correct you're just beating on some kid who doesn't know any better. And regardless of whether you're correct you end up looking like just as big a jack ass as him if not bigger in about 99% of cases.

Either way A is probably not a good choice.

If you do B and you are correct you are depriving the troll of his attention, and deprived of attention trolls quickly leave for greener pastures. If you do B and you are not correct the kid probably still wanders off, but you don't make yourselves look like jack asses in the process.

Like, a few people acting on A? Sure that's fine. No problem. It's gut instinct, not everyone can hold back.

But, again, 40 posts in two hours?

I just thought we were a little better than that.
