I'd be a troll if I didn't care, Chris. As with all of us, if you and I look at this summer: the wildfires, the flooding, the Right's behaviors, the changing climate, smoke near me, the fact that I can't integrate into my community and make friends due to Covid, the Delta vast expansion, it would be fair to say that the trolls were, as you say, the final straw. I am pedaling as best I can and usually I'm awfully good at it. But strong doesn't mean I don't care, and strong doesn't me I'm invulnerable. Absolutely not. However I would clarify: I do not care one whit what one particulal sick person thinks. I care about the hate they carry and how many people like them carry that hate. THAT is what hurts. And it hurts all of us.
