Karen: @BarrettBrownLOL You called my friends "fascists," didn't you? You never retracted that lie. Karen: Why in the world are you engaging that guy -- thought your new, improved policy was to ignore the trolls? me: on select occasions I will engage them briefly if I think I can use it to my advantage based on a number of factors Karen: But why would you re-link to a derogatory article about you? Karen: call attention to negative stuff? me: because it doesn't call attention to anything negative me: I'm comfortable with all the actual facts/links, the assertions show that the enemy is willing to libel me me: I really think you should start getting out of the practice of reading my Twitter, as you're not familiar with all of the factors and it's just going to upset/confuse you Karen: Yeah but when you engage with someone like that (who throws out taunts at one per minute) you lower yourself to their level, making you seem less important? me: I know the pluses and minuses me: Glenn Greenwald, etc do the same thing me: please, if you want to help me, you can do research on some of these companies I'm exposing Karen: But you're on a level now with Glenn Greenwald -- who DOESN'T answer minor trolls like this guy? me: Often times, people who don't feel obligated to respond to any criticisms, like Thomas Friedman Karen: I just think you're minimizing yourself at this point, now that you're on a higher level. me: I know, but you've failed to convince me of it, and anyway I'm done with him now, so you need to do something else
