Trolls: don't feed them. For a survey of various kinds of trolls, see Tantek's TrollTaxonomy. I have several Gmail filters which apply a 'troll' tag to emails from these people. Here's what it looks like:

my gmail troll tag

I find highlighting threads with troll participants with a big, red warning label helps to prioritize other, more productive threads as I read mail.

Now that Gmail supports filter importing and exporting, I thought I'd share my troll filters with others.

People I consider to be trolls:

  • Dean Anderson (dean@av8.com)
  • Robert J Burns (rob@robburns.com)
  • John Foliot (foliot@wats.ca, foliot@stanford.edu, jfoliot@stanford.edu)
  • Xah Lee (xahlee@gmail.com, xah@xahlee.org)
  • William Loughborough (wloughborough@gmail.com)
  • Andy Mabbett (andy@pigsonthewing.org.uk)
  • Shelley Powers (shelleyp@burningbird.net, shelley.just@gmail.com)
  • Leif Halvard Silli (lhs@malform.no)
  • Philip TAYLOR (P.Taylor@Rhul.Ac.Uk)
  • Dmitry Turin (html60@narod.ru)
