Besides, actual effective blowback comes from other commenters. By max clapping your article and not clapping his comment. By correcting his warped interpretation of what he said you said and suggesting he invest in some reading comprehension skills. By rebuttal. By pointing out logical fallacies and red herrings. The more the better to get these trolls to stop.

Let other women and allies stand for you and run interference.

You do you.

You know, it is surprisingly easy to be get yourself blocked by trolls. I’ve been blocked by many trolls. Found a new one who has blocked me just this morning.
