Ditto on the official trolls, so I've quit too. One troll had a degree, at least, but he wasn't reading current research. Participation continues to decline. If your interest is very narrow and you are IRC-wise and persistent, I don't doubt that you can eventually intimidate the trolls in that narrow topic and not have a problem thereafter. But this isn't my case or the common case, I suspect.
