Sometimes we all need a reminder that a pointy stick is not a socially acceptable way to deal with an annoying individual, no matter how much others may cheer you on in the moment. So, how are we supposed to deal with them?

Listen to them? Nope. You'll want to pull your ears off after a bit. 

Ignore them? Not under threat of pain. When you decide to ignore them, then they will say something you need to know. When you don't know it, it's your butt in the wringer. 

Patronize them? No. Then they will think you care.

Sic' em on someone else? Not a bad idea, especially if you have two annoying individuals...

Filter through their fluff statements and grab what you need? Most definitely.

Give them special privileges because it's the only way to make them leave? Never. Ever.

The problem with trying to come up with a plan of attack it that there isn't just one kind of annoying (see previous post.) Every single person is a different kind of annoying, and needs a different approach, not including the pointy stick. I'm rather inclined to think that most of these people are not worth that much effort. Protect your sanity, and let everyone else worry about the twits.
