I fear that for this particular individual, every day is a bad day.

I dunno, most child psychologists say you're supposed to correct errant
behavior with gentle but firm guidance.  In this case, perhaps "NO aks!
Trolling for flames is BAD!  You want to be a GOOD boy and not troll for
flames or talk about Linux in the FreeBSD newsgroups!" but this also
seems like a lot of extra work to me when one could just as easily tie
the kid's shoelaces together and leave him in front of a supermarket.
