The line of work I’m in, and about the right wing wackos, because I’ve already blocked so many of them on Twitter. (No kidding – like, several thousand.) But this week, I made the mistake of responding to someone with a tossed-off comment: “Yes, people who like facts tend to be Democrats.”
Well, you would think I’d punched the Baby Jeebus in the face.
It’s time-consuming when this happens because I can’t help myself: Sometimes I try to think of a way to respond that isn’t an attack but is also amusing. That’s hard to do when people are explaining that you’re a ugly old cat lady who will die alone, so again: Back to blocking.
One guy described himself as a “lifelong Mensan.” Hah. I passed that test when I was 12 and thought it was a big deal. It’s not.
Anyway, it’s a personal failure on my part that I even get into this. Everyone knows you don’t feed the trolls.
