This message goes to you, and to others like you who respond to trolls
like Alias.
Please do *not* respond to trolls. It does absolutely no good--it
doesn't stop them from posting, and if anything, a response of any
kind makes them happy and encourages them to continue trolling since
trolls troll because they *want* responses, and they see any kind of
response as encouraging.
And for the many of us who killfile trolls like Alias, your response
does nothing but let us see their messages you quoted, messages that
we would otherwise not see at all.
I recommend that you do the same thing--killfile Alias and all the
other trolls, so you won't even be tempted to respond to them.
