How to Deal with Trolls, Spammers & Sock Puppets

At BlogWorld in a couple weeks in addition to the big money baller panel I am also going to be on the "How to Deal with Trolls, Spammers & Sock Puppets" panel with John Chow and Patrick O'Keefe which will be moderated by Conference Founder Rick Calvert.

Rick has asked me to come up for a format for the panel and I thought it would be best if the panelists were just asked basic questions on how they deal with Trolls, Spammers & Sock Puppets.

Here are the questions I thought of off the top of my head.... If you have any pertaining to the subject of How to Deal with Trolls, Spammers & Sock Puppets please contribute it below!

1) Tell us about a time someone on the internet tried to make your life hell. How did you deal with it?
