One of the key means of dealing with vandalism is "deny recognition", which means you don't draw special attention to what they are doing. You don't give them the thrill or attention that they are seeking. It's something I had to learn, so now any time I do leave a message on a talk page that deals with vandalism, it simply states facts and is used to serve official notice that a block may be placed if the bad behavior continues.

Another method of dealing with problems is "don't build a shrine to vandals". This blog could be considered that, but right now I think it's useful for people to learn about what's happened and to see how to deal with problems. Key things to remember: keep it impartial and factual, don't get upset and don't let personal feelings affect how you deal with vandalism. Edit summaries should not contain any personal comments about the bad edits.
