Responding in kind only adds to the noise - which can provide no marginal benefit; there are plenty of others already doing the exact same thing - and it obscures the signal. For me, it obscured any signal in your article. I don't care about Samantha Bee, whoever she is, but apparently, like a contagion, her noise spread to your article. That hard-to-detect signal is all that matters; it's so precious on the Internet; we need to curate it, take care of it. The rest is just "sound and fury".
