Our discussion a few weeks ago on flaming and trolling was the first time I had heard those terms. Therefore, when I recently came upon the following page on the BarackObama.com blog, I thought it was interesting to read how bloggers on that site were dealing with trolls. People are fighting "intentional distracters" by signing up and making a symbolic pledge to ignore the trolls as well as donate money to the site in "honor" of the distracters.

The comments posted to the blog page are particularly interesting I think.
