It's already been tried. Lookin, with a whole bunch of his other nics,
did that for a while, in two wars. They just laughed at him.
I do NOT recommend it be done. Don't BE like them!
Some feed the Trolls, and some communicate with them usefully on rare
occasions, and some feel it's important to correct things the Trolls
sometimes do and say that could harm the newbies. This includes
exposing impersonations. This isn't feeding anyone, but protecting the
society.
Just because long time visitors to these groups can recognize the
Trolls for what they are and so not believe them, new visitors may NOT.
Please care about them too, especially the impressionable young people
who visit mostly in secret.
The Trolls, to us, are just a minor visual nuisance. To the
inexperienced, they can cause real harm. I care about everyone, not
just the knowledgeable. How about you?
An added problem is that recognizing who are Trolls and who are not, is
unnecessarily complicated by some BLs who often act just like the
Trolls, and by some people who post against the Trolls in a way that
just echoes their stupidity and hostility. Best not to add to that.
Take care,
Y Not
