Guys, don't try to troll the trolls, in this case. Just pretend that they said something relevant and interesting, and respond to your imagined version of their post, rather than what they actually posted. Twist their words to suit the thread. Stay calm, collected, positive, and polite. And be sure to insert just a small barb into it to make them just that bit uncomfortable. The barb should be on-topic, but going completely against the angle that the troll was after - if it's a Zelda thread, and some PS troll comes in and starts talking about Uncharted as being superior, finish off with something like "that's what makes Zelda so great - Nintendo actually puts thought into their levels", after sticking to on-topic discussion. The implication is more than sufficient, but the troll doesn't have much choice in response without looking stupid.

Basically, reject the premise of their argument, and turn it against them.

This is more or less how I prefer to operate. Pepper the the trolls with calm logic, then stick them with a logical loop.
