Honestly, the best thing we could do with respect to Durova is ignore her entirely. She adds nothing of value to any discussion; her only reason for participating is so she can be noticed.
If we ignore her long enough, she might resort to setting herself on fire and running through the town square; this being typically an act that one gets to do exactly once, it should ensure that we are spared further repetitions.
Didn't Durova already do something almost like that? (Charge!). I thought now that she wasn't admin we'd be done with her.
The problem with Trolls is that they sometimes go out in ways that keep them "alive." Consider Socrates. Professional chain-jerker if ever there was one. Not so much interested in general deep questions (boring things like: what are the charactistics of how an object falls?), as the deep questions that got the authorities pissed off, such as "what is the good, and who decides?" So in the end, they sentenced him to banning (just to stop the chain-jerking) or death. Socrates, being the guy he was, could NOT pass up the opportunity for death with maximal drahhma.
Of course we have only Plato's account of this, and Plato loved a lot of the same things Socrates did. But it's all very dramatic, all the way down the end, with the little bit of care, to repay debts finishing the whole process off, like a chocolate on your hotel pillow.
That's entertainment!
