LMAO - I love that troll policy at yellow doggerel. "Take all the vowels out of the troll's post", too funny! Or should I say, too fucking funny.
I don't know if I'm that wickedly clever... I just use the delete button if I don't like what has been said.
Thanks, jj. It's easy and fun, and I learned the trick from Teresa at Making Light, by way of Avedon. Not to worry; I do it only to commenters who really, really have it coming.

That's good, ellroon! I go a step further, removing spaces as well as vowels, and chopping up what's left into arbitrary segments, sausage-like. Then again, I usually have a fancy text editor already launched most of the time, so it's no hassle. And it is fun.
For us, laughter is the best medicine; for trolls, it's a bitter pill. Heh. Haha. Hahahaha... BWAHAHAHAHAHA!
Lol!
I wait with bated breath (pun intended) for the next unsuspecting troll to visit your blog....
