Other sites have tools for dealing with trolls. Such as a post gets enough negative votes it gets hidden.Maybe someone should create a dr-bob subreddit on reddit.com. I doubt everyone would want to migrate to reddit, though.
Bob should consider it, though. He wouldn't have to keep this site running and he could still have the benefits of this site. Plus a much bigger audience.
