It's evident who the trolls are based on their posts. Simply deleting the content is the best way to avoid feeding them.

Here are the rules...again.... IBM-MAIN is primarily for the discussion of IBM mainframe topics. Please view IBM-MAIN as an opportunity to network with other mainframe professionals from around the United States and around the world. Discussions should remain related to mainframes. Profanity is not welcome, nor is language which demeans or belittles other people or groups of people. It is further expected that list members will conduct themselves in a mature and polite manner towards fellow list members. "Flames" will not be tolerated. The list owner reserves the right to take any action he feels appropriate to ensure the smooth operation of the list. ***** POLICY REGARDING VIOLATIONS OF IBM-MAIN POLICIES ***** Because the above policies are in place for the good of the list, and because general admonishments to the list membership do not usually succeed in altering behavior deemed detrimental to the list, the list owner reserve the right to take action individually against list members violating IBM-MAIN policies. This could be being set to REVIEW. NOPOST, or removal from the list.
