I do have sympathy, but I think it's pretty sad to call the 'sexist' card when it's clearly just a case of a troll.
If you ignore him, he'll move on to someone else soon enough. It looks from the article that he wasn't being ignored at all.
- div 15y agoIt's so easy these days to be a raging sexist and play the 'troll' card.
- anigbrowl 15y agoIf you ignore him, he'll move on to someone else soon enough. Citation needed. You are assuming the trolling person is moderately rational and will go somewhere else if his selected target isn't yielding sufficient lulz. Unfortunately, it's all too easy to find stories of irrational people who escalate their harassment under such circumstances. Every few weeks there's a news story about some marginal person who loses the plot and goes on a shooting spree, so the risk of escalation is clearly non-zero.
