Hey, listen. If you use your account to harass someone, mock them, or be bigoted towards them, don't act like a victim if they call you out on it. Trying to accuse anyone, even a large account, of "encouraging a pile-on" when you were intentionally cruel is not going to fly.

I have people say AWFUL things to me, things they would never say to someone in person, and then they play victim if I draw any attention to what they said, as if *I* did something wrong.
That doesn't work with me. Don't cross my very reasonable boundaries and you're good.

In short, just don't be a terrible person on the internet. It's that simple. And if you decide to be terrible, then sometimes you'll have to deal with the consequences of your actions, including someone refusing to put up with your behaviour.

I largely ignore outright bullying and hate (I get way too much of it to address it all), but I occasionally take it on because I think it's important to demonstrate that this behaviour won't be tolerated. The internet should be unwelcoming to those who seek only to harm.

If you've been the victim of online abuse, I'm sorry. I really am. It can feel absolutely terrible, especially if you're in a vulnerable place. Just remember that their hate is coming from them and is not really about you. Drop me a line if you ever need a reminder of that.
