It’s an impossible choice. Feed the troll and bolster their ego, or ignore the troll and let the poison stand unchallenged. FWIW, I honestly thought that the original post was being satirical. Poe’s Law and all that. I was genuinely let down that it was “real” in its ignorance and vitriol.
That’s why I neither engage with comments meant to provoke nor ignore them. As the original poster now knows, if they want to go back and forth with me on this they’re welcome to email me, just not in this space
Translation: Please don't feed the troll.

That approach appears to be entirely too thoughtful and sensible to appear on the interwebs. I admire your patience.
