It's natural (and not the right thing to do) to overreact to hate. We should all eliminate or reduce our tendency to do so, particularly when doing includes harming innocent people. Let's model the kind of emotional intelligence, self-control in reacting, and compassion we call for and hope for.

I'm sorry you were astonished in a painful way and have been unceasingly so.

At least as importantly, I'm glad the bad person's loved ones aren't actually being heckled and am really sad about the bad things that actually are happening to large numbers of vulnerable people as a result of the bad person.

One example is the transphobic doxxing.

Agreed, thankfully.

I never made such points at all, sensibly or not. The fact is I wouldn't do that, and I would neither excuse nor cruelly twist anyone saying they would do it.

Let's all just get along.
