I quickly determined that the responses to the posts in question were not of concern. As someone earlier this year indicated those statements are just trolls. Despite the serious responses that have been posted, there are never any reasonable replies and year after year the same questions/statements are posted. I agree with Ed the best thing to do is to not respond

Whether our comments have any effect is, of course, an important question ... Don Quixote does come to mind. And, of course, we can hone our classroom skills of trying to turn the eyeball-roll-provoking question into something sensible and perhaps of interest. Take care Jim James M.

We've all had that student in class who, whenever he opens his mouth, elicits the synchronized rolling of dozens of eyeballs. In class I feel compelled to respond to poor soul described above.
