I've always been on the side of "ignore those asshats because paying attention to them is exactly what they want". This video hasn't changed my opinion. Even with the guilt trip. I don't view myself as greedily turning a blind eye so I can live happily in ignorance... but what are you going to do: Argue with them? They love that shit... can't get enough.
The best we can hope for is to find, label and ostricize these people. It's harder on the internet, but not impossible. But that still wouldn't stop the threatening emails or phonecalls... or the 1-star reviews everywhere for practically no reason. So what would be the point?
I hate to say it, but most people can't deal with these trolls. Only hackers and data miners could actually enforce some real punishment, and they usually don't care. But if you could actually find their machine and load it up with crippling viruses or find where they live and punch their teeth in... then you might actually get them to stop. Anything less and you're just fueling their hate-mongering.
