This set of recommendations was first prepared after noticing some nasty
behaviors on the USENET. Initially, I embraced the usual recommendation
to ignore trolls, crackpots, liars, flamers, and other nasty posters.

This worked for most of cases. For example, after postings from certain
nasty posters were ignored several times, the posters stopped from
replying more...

Juan, this is going to happen anywhere you post because you don't have
discussions, you make assertions. Anyone who disagrees with you is a "nasty
poster". It is your style that is the problem.
