Oh god. Trying to troll the trolls and fight back just tends to lead to a cycle of revenge and an online civil war. This sort of reasoning is partly why GamerGate blew up the way it did, because people (on all sides) were attacking the hell out of everyone who disagreed with them. What was a disagreement over a fairly minor matter soon exploded into people trying to find excuses to get their opponents fired/arrested/swatted/etc. The internet doesn't need more excuses to form social media vigilante mobs.
