The right-wing trolls refuse to listen but they demand to be heard. Hard pass. Block them early and often.
Trolling + misinformation requires an audience: so when rather than responding, I simply block, they also perceive that as censorship. This latest accusation, for example, claims that, as a university professor, I am a public official and hence shouldn’t be allowed to block anyone on social media.

Have never understood the mindset that blocking someone was somehow cowardly, or contemptible, or against the rules. Nobody signed a contract they had to put up with stupid people's shit on a social app.

It’s a classic narcissist bully move. “How dare you take action to prevent me from treating you like shit.” Partner abuse is much the same.

Or accusing someone of being intolerant if they don't approve of someone else's bigotry.
