Apicius:
A wise decision!
With all respect, Sherapop, but your troll was a stupid one since all he did was insulting you.
The more dangerous and intelligent ones create users in perfume communities, spend a lot of time and energy to be good friends with as much people as possible, even donate money. At some point, maybe after years, when they think they have achieved a "position" they start picking at and insulting a few other users. When they finally get sacked, they leave behind a horrible mess of frustration and disappointment, and many users put the blame on the webmaster for banning such a nice person!
One of that kind was best friends with all the ladies at the German site, but he became sarcastic and disrespectful whenever a male user posted an elaborate review - and so I think I was one of his preferred victims.
I never reacted and at some point he lost interest and simply ceased to visit Parfumo.
Sherapop:
I learned this lesson the hard way at the salon de parfum recently. After suffering for months under the tyranny of a troll whom I was trying to pacify and socialize, I finally let him go. Only now has my peace returned.
Just say "No" to trolls. No acknowledgement. No reply.

The salon de parfum is my first blog, and to be honest, I really did not understand the troll concept. Trollman occasionally made relevant points, so I attempted to corral him into socially acceptable behavior, since I felt that he had potential to change, and his lame attempts at insults never really bothered me. (You may have noticed that I have no dearth of self-esteem.
) Unfortunately, other people were bothered by his rude behavior, and that's why he became a big problem.My real weakness, I suppose, was to feel sorry for him. Fortunately, Bryan Ross (From Pyrgos) broke down the options for me, and I finally realized that the only solution was to refuse ever to publish him again. Bryan was right, and now the salon is troll-free once again...
... thanks for the wonderful memories ... LOVE DM!!
