The only thing I can think to do is call it out when you see it like I just did. Leave one comment after someone fights with you, they're probably a bot anyway. Did you notice that thread was 10 years old? It's been going on a long time and they're really good at it. I've been getting better at combating it too, but I still am not great. They usually only downvote me now, which I consider a win.
