And the spamming isn't that bad, 3-4 filter rules is needed but that's about it.

The problem, if any, isn't the trolling but the moronic replies from people who should know better than responding to morons.

Hello? If someone writes something stupid/silly/moronic then killfile/filter and/or ignore.
Don't respond to it, you'll only make it worse.

Or to quote ye olde proverb:
"Never argue with idiots, they'll just drag the discussion down to their own level and beat you with experience."
