A german term comes to my mind which applies perfectly to this:
"Blinder Aktionismus" which roughly translates to "blind actionism".

I'm totally baffled that few people seem to know how to filter trolls
out of their inboxes.
In the past such trolls were treated with a "plonk" and all was good.
But nowadays everything has to be ruled somehow.
