Seriously, there is a gross asymmetry here. If someone with ten followers says something interesting, by all means interact — hoist them up to the stream of attention!

But if it's an account with ten people saying shitty things, it's either a bot or a trolling edgelord. Your response is a successful exploit in both cases.

It breaks my heart every time one of my dear twitter friend succumbs to this. I know why they feel like they have to fight the ugliness but still... I agree they’re best ignored.
