I think the kind of comments and insults we are talking about (which tells everything about the authors of the insult and really nothing about the targeted individuals) should not curtail the valuable contributions to a forum like this one - it shouldn't be forgotten ever that spreading a knowledge and scientific way of thinking is a kind of mission, and worthy of excess effort, more valuable today and tomorrow as ever (having in mind the current trends in devaluation of education in general).
The most important thing is to not loose the nerve and keep the level of the discussion up to a civil standards (until it makes sense, of course - the last resort is enforcing of TOS). In my opinion, this is the best method (sometimes slower..) to eliminate the trolls.
