Seeing the Unstory stuff unravel today made me realize that far too many bloggers ignore the prime directive of the internet: don't feed the trolls.
Having a blog with a clean design and witty writing doesn't make someone worth reading or engaging. And if they're anonymous, and mainly post ragebait? Do yourself and everyone else a favor by closing the tab and forgetting about them.

"...what really influences trolling behaviour is the social pleasure derived from knowing that others are annoyed by it. The more negative social impact the troll has, the more their behaviour is reinforced. Happily, this discovery suggests an easy way to deal with trolls: ignore them, rather than giving them the satisfaction of an angry reaction." https://theconversation.com/dont-feed-the-trolls-really-is-good-advice-heres-the-evidence-63657
