Yes. Don't give it attention. Have just been arguing this. If we all simply ignored abusive, unreasonable ppl, it would be very effective.https://twitter.com/GSpellchecker/status/819958744515809280 …

@GSpellchecker would it? In my experience "ignoring" bullies just lets a problem grow until it can't be ignored due to tragedy1 reply 0 retweets 0 likes -
I've been ignoring Breitbart for years. Turns out that didn't stop it growing in popularity and influence

That popularity would indicate ppl not ignoring them but this is a different issue.

but that is my point - some things will grow in influence if you don't challenge them. Bullying attracts acolytes

again - only works up to a point. Individual trolls, yes. If you're being messaged by 100s a day, it's like DDOS

Yes, I'm sure there are cases. For most of us tho, its just a few & they're easily blocked.

You're wasting you're time with this one. I just think they like the attention.
