Twitter is full of trolls. Just block and move on. It's not your responsibility to educate people who are searching for people to argue with.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Twitter is full of trolls. Just block and move on. It's not your responsibility to educate people who are searching for people to argue with.I think you could say "the internet" and not limit it to just Twitter. Don't feed the troll. Not worth the PepcidAC.

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger
Feeding the trolls would be a full-time job. Sometimes, very rarely, someone says something so egregious I think my head will pop off my neck if I don't say something.
VERY. RARELY. Learned that lesson back in the Salon days...

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."
We are driving an hour and twenty minutes today to see Much Ado! And then we're stopping at a brewpub for dinner because TCG is awesome for constantly indulging his fannish wife and deserves beer.
Sean, tons of job~ma and interview~ma to you.
Aims, so much ~ma for Emeline's friend. How awful.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Omnis, while you are right that the whole Internet is a problem at least I can control my community. In twitter you have to be a bit more aggressive about controlling your own space. It feels liberating when you get the hang of it. You mean I can block someone? Or put the person on mute for a day? I can just not reply if I don't want to?
I can put the person on a list and read them when I want?

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe
Ordering wedding invitations -- one of the options is to print something on the back of the invitation (the example shows directions). I have never gotten a wedding invitation with directions -- or anything at all -- printed on the back of the invitation itself. I *have* gotten invitations with a separate card enclosed with directions.
We are of differing opinions: is it tacky to put directions on the back of the invitation itself, or is it a thing that's done now? (Tim told me "Ask the Buffistas!")

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Directions as a separate insert.

I don't think it's tacky either way. Whichever you prefer. I suppose most people will google map? But maybe if you need to tell them where to park or something.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
H had always been immune to poison ivy and oak. When he was burned, he got brand-new baby skin over 21% of his body, and surprise! no immunity. I know whereof systemic reaction, and I am so very sorry for Em's friend, Aims. All possible best healing and recovery to her, and strength and comfort to her family, and to close good friends like Em, and you.
Sean, so happy for your interview! Every possible appendage (hush, you) crossed for you.
Teppy, you are rocking the wedding planning, as you rock most things. I hope you're having as much fun in the doing of it as we are in observing you getting it done.
sj, Yay! for TCG being supportive of your fannishness. Beer he likes is a lovely reward.
I mostly sit back and watch the trolls self-immolate, even if it takes a while. But every now and then, I get a battle-light in my eye, and woe betide the shitheel. But mostly, yeah...feed little sticks to the eventual pyre and sit back and watch.
We were headed up into the Cascades today to see the waterfalls. But the neighbors had need of H's skills with drills and, well, logic and leverage and I-wouldn't-do-it-that-way-if-you-want-to-live skills, and I'm eyebrow deep in edits, so we've rescheduled the trip to tomorrow. Tell me all the waterfalls won't run dry in the interim?
