The correct way to respond to a troll without telling him what and how to speak is to address the matter of his flame bait in a way that will eventually lead him to understand his lack of purpose in life and commit suicide, nicely and cleanly.
Yes, and the best way to do that is not to answer or respond to the troll message AT ALL.

A blank thread with a single posting (the troll) is the best way to silence him/her, without also censuring or trampling on the right of speech.

In fact I stayed away from this thread for the same reason, clearly understanding this was a useless troll.
