(154,021 posts)don't hide them, don't ignore them... that way they can do their work in the dark. I speak from experience, if you ignore them they get far worst. Just don't engage them. I will make a point NOT TO ENGAGE those people, but they will never, ever, like never again go on ignore. Like EVER. And if they come visit to my site. where I have the ability, they will (in some cases again) be IP banned and their poison will never see publication there. As in never, they attack me or my readers, there is zero tolerance for that shit. I made a promise the site would be safe from bullies and it takes work, but it is.
That pisses them to no end I know, but quite frankly, bully behavior can and should be treated in only one way.zero tolerance. If not, it festers, as it has here...
Take my word though... this is by design. The bullies have a function and that is to drive those they do not like at DU away, and that is to avoid the "drama" of a permanent ban. I will keep coming back, even though I will be stalked and alerted until I get another vacation, by that band of approved bullies. And that will be until I am actually given a more permanent remedy.
The best to do with these people is that if they say hello, just walk by and pretend they do not exist. They do, but I am not going to validate their existence.
