Cory Doctorow also thinks that "many trolls are perfectly nice in real life -- sometimes, just calling them on the phone and confronting them with the human being at the other end of their attacks is enough to sober them up" [3].

Cory's point is a good one and, at least in my experience, often works
wonders.

Call him on the phone or invite him to a conference. He's based
in Minsk, Belarus, AFAIK.
