But I guess that's the issue, people who think people are "troublesome" and report them. There is always someone who just can't resist reporting someone they don't like and won't take their advice or admit they are wrong etc.

The mistake you made was saying "one doesn't reply to rhetoric".

I actually agree. What I was getting at by asking if it was possible, is that even if they are deliberately trolling, who cares if it's their own thread topic they started? Just walk away and let the thread die once you realise it's a troll.
Of course, one troll could derail an entire existing good thread, and that has to be looked at more harshly.
And you can flood the forum with new threads and that gets annoying, which also needs to be looked at.

The purposeful irony of this thread is brilliant.
