The best way of making a troll go away is to completely ignore him.
Trolls are begging for attention and giving them attention means
stimulating them.

But obviously many c.l.py posters find part of the troll message
worth to be discussed. This is OK, if the discussion isn't confined
to silly theses like 'everybody who wants an IDE is an idiot' but
is open for analyzing Python's strong and weak points.

A living programming language needs a strong community and therefore
Python has to attract new programmers. This way Python competes with
languages like C#. Posters who tell us that Python is so fantastic
that it doesn't need anything else but vi and emacs don't understand
that there are are different programmer personalities with different
needs (No, I'm not hostile to emacs and vi. I use vi/vim quite often).
If the Python community had only the ide=idiot guys this would be
the most serious threat for Python's survival. :)
