Or she might use a carefully aimed stiletto shoe. But one must always look to the final goal. In this case, that goal is to be rid of the troll's unfair allegations. But if the allegations continue or escalate, even in the vacuum you have created, then further action might be appropriate. Probably not an actual punch in the face, but a lawsuit in the face. Or if one happens to have friends of the organized crime persuasion, something physical might ensue. The Manners Doctor remembers when she was a girl and threatened by a thug, a kind male friend with a colorful background said, "What's his name? I know people." She found that remarkably comforting.

Like a lot of rustic Vermont-raised boys, I'm thinking about the power of a jab to the jaw with this DeVil clown. But that's the first rule of modern trolling- stay safely out of melee range.
