I talked about the emotional, misguided myths behind the "Don't Feed The Trolls" mantra a few weeks back. And now I've expanded on those thoughts for @verge - happy new column day: https://www.theverge.com/platform/amp/2018/7/12/17561768/dont-feed-the-trolls-online-harassment-abuse …

Loved this piece. I've always tried my best to ignore trolls, because there are so many who've built huge platforms and followings by saying horrible stuff and harvesting the retweets and attention it gets them. This made me rethink my strategy a little

Fantastic. I hope that in time this will change. Part of the problem I find is that baby boomers(god bless them), some(like my dad) continue to believe nothing on the internet is "real"....

..but the fact is, its VERY real. Once we as a society can get past the notion that nothing that happens online is real, things may change...

..for example,online dating. I did that early and everybody thought it was for recluse and weirdos and now MANY people have done it at least once. Times are changing.

Excellent read, thanks. I came up with a saying after I heard of folks 'pretending' to be Nazis to troll the libs: If someone's okay with looking like an asshole, they're probably an asshole. Nice people aren't okay with looking like Nazis. Same for trolls in general.
