If I ignore/block them, it allows them to continue unchallenged. I hate getting into it with them, since they are a baseline idiot.

I guess that's it. I saw a person with a 6 month account spouting garbage, was gonna block but thought perhaps that wasn't morally responsible. Wondering what the options were.

Doxx them.

What, that isn't allowed? Well neither is white supremacist hate speech. Fuck that trash.

I tend to not reply because that will just draw more attention to them. I will post a separate top level comment rebutting their statements without referring to them.

Ignore them, then vote accordingly. Nothing you or I say will have any effect
