How Do You Deal With "Trolls"?

"An Internet troll, or simply troll in Internet slang, is someone who posts controversial and irrelevant or off-topic messages in an online community, such as an online discussion forum or chat room, with the intention of provoking other users into an emotional response or to generally disrupt normal on-topic discussion".

So, how do we manage these people? What's your personal method for tackling them? Are we too quick to call someone out as a troll when sometimes it's more like that person is just a dumbass with a messy view of the world? Is being purposefully controversial always a bad thing? Is "feeding" a troll a pointless waste of time, or does it give the opportunity to air your feelings regardless of whether anyone cares? Do you give a rats rectum? Questions questions... do we have any answers?
