I had a quick peek at your froup and will post my advice as an alleged
troll myself, so take it or leave it.
you are all making the fatal error of responding to and discussing the
troll. IOW it isn't the troll destroying your froup it is yourselves.
that is how we work, by sowing the seeds of sedition, then watching and
laughing as a froup disappears up its own arsehole.
1)under no circumstances should you threaten to netKKKop a troll, that
is like a red flag to a bull.
2)do not even attempt to engage the troll in flames, he/she will almost
certainly outflame you.
3)educate the regs in killfile usage.
4)charters mean jack ****.
5)stop whining.

HTH.

lowest form of pond scum. People like him have tried unsuccessfully in
the past to disrupt the newsgroup. The best medicine is to completely
ignore them. As I'm sure you'll see, they're most intelligent response
is to yell nasty names. Other than that, they have nothing."

"I went to the Garden of Love,
And saw what I never had seen;
A Chapel was built in the midst,
Where I used to play on the green.

And the gates of this Chapel were shut
And "Thou shalt not," writ over the door;
So I turned to the Garden of Love
That so many sweet flowers bore.

And I saw it was filled with graves,
And tombstones where flowers should be;
And priests in black gowns were walking their rounds,
And binding with briars my joys and desires."
