The point is not to change the troll's opinion; the point is to discredit them in front of whoever else may be reading the thread.
Also, the other action other than blocking them is reporting them and having a mod or admin remove them for everybody at once.
Both of those are better options than individually blocking.
Not gonna lie, I see people doing this theatrical shit in the 2020's and I instantly hate them for killing any good vibes that were happening. They no longer represent their politics to me.
Yeah.
There are vulnerable people that might fall for their bullshit, so at least we must deny their nonsense so that fewer people fall for it.
