You kill the whole thread??
There's gotta be a better way. When a troll see this, you know he's
gonna be tempted to reply here... and he won't even have to say
anything, just click the Reply button to kill your thread.

This morning there were 111 headers in r.b.c. When I selected the group,
the number dropped down to 18 - all real content!!!

But in some cases you'e throwing the baby out with the bath water.
Filters can be overdone.

Me, I killfilter messages of known trolls too, but as for threads, I
filter only the ones that trolls initiate. That helps a lot.

The Delete key is your friend. So is the manual "Ignore" button.
