I've found one tactic somewhat annoying to troll-kind. If one of their baiting posts had something I still wanted to refute, I would do so in a different fashion... instead of replying to the troll and taking the bait, I put the information I want to say in a different context and reply to the OP.

Taking any troll bait will just end up in a downward spiral of them trying to stump you or waste your time researching and providing facts to your point that they will then ignore and try to discredit as coming from right-wing source or being a right-wing smear.

Funny how every single thing that isn't 100% positive about Hillary seems to be a right wing smear.
