Trolling the trolls A lesson that I have learned the hard way is that it s often better just to leave well enough alone rather then trying to talk sense into known idiots In this case I think it would have been best for you to simply stay on the moral high ground and ignore this individual Long ago I would have done the exact same thing you did but I have since taken a much more dispassionate approach to vandalism and Wikipedia in general for that matter Instead of lowering yourself to his level simply address the issue at hand revert revert revert report problem solved until his next block expires From experience you WILL eventually reach the point that this kind of thing just stops affecting you I don t even notice vandals getting getting upset with me anymore When I start up Huggle I just put on my confessor face and go to work It s not personal to me I don t give a damn if it s personal to them
