Ignore it...
If it's bad, report it (for example http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/2841769 - 4 DRs in a row? That's WAY past coincidence and totally ridiculous. Go to that question, feedback it, and report the trolls. Remember it's the weekend, so it might take the staff a bit to get to it.
And for questions like this, on which EVERYONE was DRed for even answering, report IT.
WE may not be able to tell who's doing the DRs, but the staff, I'm sure, CAN. (They just don't show it to us for fear of DR wars.) If there's no valid reason for the DR (the questions are good - and they are, or the answers are good - and they are), the trolls will get theirs in the end.
Like I said before... Just continue being your sweet self, keep that occasional "hot head" in check, and YOU will be fine.
(And if the trolls go away for a few days, then come back, consider that they MAY have been PBed, blame you and are back at it... Report 'em again, so they can be PBed again, and later, if they continue, banned.)
You could also take a couple of days off. Most trolls don't have a good attention span and will go away when they're not getting to you or your friends.
What are a Trolls favourite food?

I feel safer crossing bridges now. Did the "like" button drive the trolls into extinction?

Do you think everyone is a troll in some way or other? ;-)

read my comments under Galeanda's answer..there is no point in reporting to anybody.., the only person who has ever acknowledged me is Rich and I hardly ever send in requests of this type.
