    How about you don't give the self important asshole more time in the public eye instead?

    Dear Mr. Shkreli, if you got rectal cancer, would it affect your entire body?

      I think it's a safe bet that if Shkreli had an asshole transplant, that the asshole would reject him.

    Why are you encouraging this talentless, odious shit with this sort of coverage?

      Yes, of course he can. Mostly by not understanding what the hell should be wrong with anything he did.

      I've worked with psychopaths before. They honestly don't get why you're outraged when they pull the shit they do.

    I won't have anything to do with that guy, and shame on Slashdot for providing a platform to him.

    I think a more pertinent question would be "When did you receive your diagnosis as a sociopath, and why did you choose financial scams as opposed to preying on young women between the ages of 18 and 30 and sexualy torturing them, murdering them and then taunting their relatives via anonymous letters to th Duluth News Tribune?"

    You! Yes, you! You there, about the press the "Reply" button - think about what you're doing.

    Chances are you want to ask Martin Shkreli why he's such an utterly foul piece of human excrement - of course you do, it's what we're all thinking - but what will it achieve? I'm happy to see that the users of Slashdot have already asked this question several times, so that ground has been covered.

    So what can you do? My suggestion is: nothing. Don't hit Reply. Don't ask a question. Shkreli didn't get to be King of the Douchebags by having a thin skin, but if anything's going to wound him... it's nothing. No responses. No-one caring. No-one even expressing their disdain for him.

    So how about it? Just close the tab, and move on. Do more for the good of humanity than Martin Shkreli ever will simply by sitting on your arse and doing nothing. It's the right thing to (not) do.

    Excellent advice. And just to remind everyone, this tactic is not solely reserved for the King here.

    This will work for any annoying-as-fuck talentless narcissist prancing about on social media. The only way to make them disappear is to starve them of the very food they need to survive, which is attention.

    The absolute asshurt in this article is hilarious. Actual questions getting modded as troll, crying and screaming and "lol kill urself!" getting modded to +5.

    Crying and screaming to not give him attention, yet that is exactly what you're doing by crying and screaming about it.
