Stop complaining about how some people come in a thread with bad intentions. It's exactly the type of rise they want so don't throw them that bone. Ignore them and move on.

So, if someone sticks their hand between my legs and starts kneading my junk, I should just go with it?

Sorry for the vulgarity of the question, but I think it's appropriate to your comment.

But you will never encounter a situation on a forum that is like that (unless for some reason said person is at your house...which would mean you have bigger problems!). 

I've seen entire threads become near useless from people complaining about other people instead of posting about the topic on hand. If they would have ignored and reported the people they are complaining about, said thread would have been much better. Really though, even if you debate the person respectfully (without showing yourself getting flustered) that annoys them if all they are trying to do is get a rise out of you. But the two worst things you can do in a forum atmosphere is to complain about them or go off on them all angry like. That's what people like that strive for.
