in thread Penance Highlighting?

I was going to say that replies to a troll will likely get downvoted and result in a good learning experience.

If only. I downvote a fair number of troll-food replies (replies to trolling nodes) and they almost always still end up with a positive reputation. There appear to be plenty of people who upvote the misguided taunters of trolls and also the unaware responders.

    That's true. It seems like your node on what a troll really is should be required reading for everyone.

    For what it's worth I also make an effort to downvote responses to trolls.
