Just block them, because if you give them notice first (polite or
not) it just encourages them to get hostile, throw more trash into
the fray, and make things uglier all the way around. Linus


Yeah, and once some of them know they've hit the killfile nerve,
they'll change their handle and the whole thing has to be done again.

First off in the thread I started to ask the question about kill filling
Bryant the answer appears to be no. I can't solve that problem with my
news reader unless I block everyone that likes to respond to him.

Changing handles by Trolls is no problem. Usually I can key on something
else in their headers so they can change their handle all they want and
I don't see them.

For the hardest cases I'll see the first one, kill the new handle and
re-filter the remaining unread posts. A couple of mouse clicks is all it
takes.

But there is no point in doing this unless others do the same.
