With every passing year I realize "Don't Feed The Trolls" is the worst decision the internet ever came up with. We let something disgusting fester thinking it was just someone trying to get a rise out of us. It wasn't a joke. It was never a joke. It was only pure seething hatred.

And understand, it's less about the trolls. They were going to do whatever and it wouldn't change them. It's about the thousands and thousands of people who were told that when they were experiencing mountains of abuse. It was ignoring their abuse, plain and simple.

Folks, there was no more "innocent" time for trolls. This is always what it was. This is always what it looked like. You just grew up.
