I'm not sure canv.as could support interaction that is above this. It's an interesting concept, but I'm not exactly sure what the vision is, and if there was a serious attempt to find an audience unlike 4chan's. I would bet that Poole does have a plan though.
Fighting back against trolls is a complicated thing for a moderator. Trolls want to disrupt, and in many ways the fight against them accomplishes their goal. I wouldn't say that it's only apathy that makes moderators reticent to engage. Sometimes it is just an unwillingness to throw fuel on the fire. Personally speaking, if there are serious trolling issues, rather than aggressively engaging in specific incidents, I'd be looking for more global solutions to the problem. I'd hate to spent energy fighting symptoms when the disease might be treated.
