Every newsreader has "block the poster" function.
Use it to block the troll and remove his posts
from your newsgroup instead of discussing with them.

People using this group for years (like me) filter
trolls regularly to weed them out. If you reply
to trolls you give them what they want: attention.

If you use "block sender" each time he changes
the person he pretends to be the group will be
clean and trolls stop being the problem.
I do not see troll after initial message he posted.

Responding to trolls you fuel their behaviour.
Try to resist temptation to react :-)
Ignore them like there were not here.

Good luck!

p.s.
please, do not respond to this post unless you are
a troll and you have to do some trolling... :-)
