Nah, I don't think so. Trolls live off of response, if you ignore the troll it goes away.

Depends on their value. It certainly is for Van Der Blub (RIP?).

Nah. If a troll is actually good, then people will like them anyway.

But mentioning the poster this is primarily in reference to in the same breath as Vander Blubb is pure blasphemy.

Not in and of itself.  "This poster's trolling is hilarious" is a perfectly valid defense, however.
