Wow. I should really not engage a troll over on Twitter but frankly I'm at the point where I want to physically attack one of these assholes.

@Leucrotta I'm not gonna tell you not to attack. Not me, of all people.

I am going to remind you that ninja/monk techniques work better in these occasions than samurai techniques.

Ask not "how can I attack this person full force," but "how can I cause this asshole the maximal frustration with the least emotional labor for myself."

Let me know if you need a tactical advisor/evil Taoist sage. XD

@zebratron2084 Might take you up on it.

I kinda hope that a couple of things aimed back would get under their skin, but let's face it, I grew up getting bullies to back off by escalating to violence (nobody likes taking the social hit of being seen beating up a weaker, smaller kid). Not only is escalating to violence not possible but I'm not good at hurting egos through words.

And I kinda want to make them feel *my* levels of self-doubt and self hate, and be immobilized as a result.
