I guess we are talking about Terry again.
Terry was my first look into how mean the internet is. Here was a man, wicked smart, but with some very clear issues. He was kind enough to share himself with all of us, producing videos and putting his work out there but Instead of engaging with him while recognizing his limitations, we mocked him. People turned up to prod him to say "CIA N...". They asked him the same 5 questions to bait him into saying something stupid. It was honestly horrible.
Learning of Terry marked the end of my internet innocence. Suddenly it wasn't just fun and games, but real people with real lives.

The best thing you can do is not feed the trolls, just ignore them. They're never going away, but at least you can avoid giving them satisfaction.
