One of our finest internet umpires, HHH, has covered this sitch very well:

1) If you are determined to toss the offending party, after quiet , private discussion, tell him/her they are gone in such a way as to get the troll to become unglued.

2) Then, give him the big send-off. Most people who view it will think you had no choice.


This has worked like a charm for me numerous times, maybe it will work for you.

HHH? Translate please.
His High Holiness.
Always include that I gave Peter that name in an email circulated in the listserv UmpiresTalk.

He liked the pejorative so well, he has turned it into a commendation.

How he did that is a mystery to me!

ACTUALLY, Carl gave Peter the name "His Holiness", which Peter loved. He signed his posts HH. When this board opened, and Peter tried to register, HH was already taken as a moniker, so Peter added the third "H" making it His High Holiness.

And that's the truth.
