    Yes, yes, yes. My new followers still point this out to me optimistically. Those who have been here a while yell at me. Those who have been here longest have given up. However, I am gradually getting better. Yes, I am. You don't see how many people I ignore.https://twitter.com/neha_aks/status/1051633192955011072 …

    Unsolicited advice: I’ve been following your exchange with this fellow for some time now. Note how a user with 2 followers has wasted hours of ur time, which u could have used to compile your arguments a thorouh article, which you could then simply throw at trolls like these. :)

        And I also understand that engaging with Twitter trolls can sometimes be fun and even help you learn new things, but some of them create these anon accounts just to troll you. Engaging these kinds will only give them oxygen. Figuring out which troll to engage is an art, almost!

        Helen as a Christian I think you're more Christian like then many I see in church and I don't say that in a mean way, I know they're trying but to truly get it is something that takes something of your kind too. 🥰

        I will take that in the spirit that it was intended. That you think I do better at getting at the true goodness that you think of as the essence of Christianity than many Christians? You mean this as a huge compliment & you also cross a values/belief gap to make it. Thank you, TJ

        Yes, and thank you for your reply, I'm a bit honored, and yes it's not only a huge compliment but also a swipe at those I have attended church with over the years as well as my fam (I have not gone to church in awhile bc of the unevenness I feel there compared to my faith). (1/2)

        To be good is to think of others (which you always show btw) but too many are ignored and cast aside which hurts me and as Christians I feel we fail spectacularly bc 'we give to church.' Then politics comes in to decide but so many crooks exist pilfering from the pot. (2/3)

        It would be more Christian in my mind to focus on others as well as church; I don't know if some feel they give too much to church they don't feel the need to give to others but the fact is so many need help & I like you in our ways want to help others.

        We can easily organize much like the way political groups do to help those in need but you'll never see that; they have become props to galvanize. I'm sure ppl if they trust groups to do right we cold solve many homeless&drug problems by organizing but so many do only for power.

        think of signs on front lawns saying "Vote prop 114a" to say "Help the homeless 114" .. many I think would vote to help the homeless but then that would mean they would help the homeless and why they don't say that. It's so disgusting it's more like... give to our group and

        don't get me started on the matching up at stores... I know it's just pennies to add to a "foundation" that is for a good cause but has anyone vetted it? Has anyone seen Office Space? Call yourself a good cause and suddenly money is pouring into a bank account for no reason?!

        It's because we care. Or we are irritated. Possibly a bit of both.
