My best friend, the newborn troll

did say you should never pick a fight with a troll but a friend of mine is struggling with following that advise.

“That bastard posted another nasty message about me again,” he said to me in a chat, “and I’m sorry to say, Joel, I can’t take it anymore! I’m not following your advise! I am not going to stay silent!"
“So what are you going to do?” I asked.
“I am going to fight fire with fire I am going to post an anti-troll message!”
“What if he answers back and posts a message countering your message?” I asked again.
“You mean what if that sanamagan posts an anti-‘anti-troll’ message? Subukan nya! I’m going to answer his answer to me!”
“You mean you’ll post an anti-anti-‘anti-troll’ message?”
“You bet! I will answer his answer to my answer to his answer!”
“What if he answers your answer with a counter-answer to your anti-anti-anti-‘anti-troll’ message?” I said.
“Then I have no choice but to counter his counter-counter-answer to my answer to his answer to my anti-anti-anti-‘anti-troll’ message!”
“In other words you’re going to post a counter-counter-counter-anti- anti-anti-anti-‘anti-troll’ message?” I asked.
“Of course! I will not let him get away with me not answering his answer to my answer to his answer to my answer to his counter-counter-counter-answer to my anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-troll message! No way! ”
“I see. Wouldn’t it be difficult to write a counter-counter-counter-counter-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-‘anti-troll’ message?”
“No problem for me. I’m just going to answer his answer to my answer to his answer to my answer to his answer to my answer to ny counter-counter-counter-counter-counter-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-anti-troll message! I can do this all day, I swear!”
“Wouldn’t it be easier to just unfriend him or block him? That way you won’t receive any notifications about any posts he makes about you?”
“Yeah, but how will I know what nasty things that idiot is going to say about about me if I can’t read his posts?!”
“Well, you can make a fake account and search for his page, then you can post nasty things about him, too.” I suggested.
“You know what, I think I’ll do that. I’m going to give him a dose of his own medicine!”
“There you go,
congratulations
!” I said, “you just became a troll.”
