I will deal with this tomorrow and hopefully resume a regular flow of my usual Insolence for the edification of the regulars, who will hopefully drive out the trolls without me having to go on a mass blocking binge.

I have two blogs actually,
@ScienceBasedMed and the one by my alter ego@oracknows. It’s the latter that’s being overrun. I’ve been more distracted by real life than in a long time and haven’t been producing as much fresh material as usual. - Show replies

What topic are they trolling on? I just turned off the comments option on mine. Saves energy!

It’s usually a vibrant community that’s been talking (and arguing) for close to 10 years. It’s not YouTube.

After reading your tweet I went to 'Respectful Insolence' to see for myself. I managed to make it through maybe 4 comments, including one deranged 9/11 "truther" whose Dunning-Kruger rating exceeds the height of both towers combined.

Stop reading the comments. Best tip anyone has given me. Journalists know this. And my mom told me she heard
@MargaretAtwood interviewed and she said she never reads them either. We have to conserve every last bit of energy for the task at hand. Don't give them access to you. -
Oh, I can handle it. I’ve only been at this for nearly 16 years.
