I do believe in ignoring trolls, primarily because there's really not much else you can do, other than reporting any posts that are against the rules. Regardless of the number of people you get to fight with you, or even because of it, trolls don't walk away. Because they just want attention and to ruffle feathers, which they're clearly succeeding at if someone is arguing with them.

You can't make them stop posting, you can't ban them unless you're in charge of the forum, and you can't force them to play nice. The only real option is to show them that their efforts will not be given the attention they seek, by ignoring it entirely.
